When once I was lost among the screams
Thrusting through the unbroken succession
I recognized you from long ago dreams
Sinking and swimming up bubbling streams
Struggling against such dark oppression
When once I was lost among the screams
Terrifying images and nightmarish themes
Immersed in the sensory impression
I recognized you from long ago dreams
Demons boast of savage rapines
Resisting their pull of possession
When once I was lost among the screams
Overwhelmingly driven to rabid extremes
Turning, I stumble through the procession
When I recognized you from long ago dreams
Far and away, a glint of light gleams
Gasping for breath, I make my confession
That once I was lost among those screams
When I recognized you from long ago dreams–Christina Knowles (2014)
