AN ETHEREAL ENCOUNTER

>

> Sleep met Lord Death one icy winter's day,

> "I'll weave a magic spell of dream" Death said

> "In which muddled mortals will be meekly led

> To graze in shadows grey like sheep at play.

>

> Compare two states,attend to what I say!

> Brief is the sleeping dream enjoyed in bed,

> On waking it's firm, but stays until you're dead.

> Listen!Know this Truth,it is an ancient way .

>

> All seems Real to the sleeper's satisfaction

> The stuff of dreams,a mind's reaction."

> "Thank you"said Sleep "for making this so clear

> If I'm dreamed by Thee,where's my need to fear?"

>

> "What I've said explains your stupefaction,

> So wake up! and lend an enquiring ear !"

>

>

> Alan
