Am I Dreaming

Am I Dreaming
By: James Dubeau

Several nights ago
I had dreamed
Death’s hand
Taking me under
To join those
That went before me
Tonight
I am left to wonder
Did I ever wake
From that dream
Am I still living
The life I led
Or are those
Unnatural painted skies
A sign
That I never awoke
That I died
On the side of the road
An my mind conjured
The most gorgeous sunsets
Day after day
As my soul
Floats on through
Finding its way
To the after life
Or at least
Occupying time until
I open my eyes
To a sterile white room
With tubes in my body
Keeping me alive
Until I awoke
