8 - Only Sleeping

I awoke into a dream
A land of unfamiliarity
Loved ones of past and present
Gathered to welcome me

A reunion of old friends
And missed families
Everyone was jovial
To be together again
But when I saw my brother
Within the familiar crowd
My heart broke
And I shattered to tears

I awoke into reality
All around me
Peaceful sleeping faces
In an inescapable dream.
Amongst the sheep
I spotted my brother once again.
I held my breath
And hoped that
He was only sleeping
