Don't wake me

Dreams are not something to lose

Sleep over even when they are as
Strange as fiction that mines minds
A king put courtiers to death for
Not correctly interpreting a dream
Which apparently foretold a famine
Mine have not been as momentous
But I keep losing my way in a place
As familiar as a workplace or home
An exam I have not prepared for
Still wakes me up though I have
Now left that frightful world behind
Let no dream wake me up before dawn
Rather let me wake up from life itself.
