a city in flames

       
while in a deep sleep      
I had a terrible nightmare      
       
it was nighttime, I was walking      
tried to find my way home      
       
everywhere around me      
the buildings were on fire      
the smoke was so thick      
I couldn't see      
       
I put my sweatshirt      
over my nose so I could breathe      
       
I'd never been so afraid      
I was desperately seeking home      
across highways, over fences      
I fought to get there      
       
kept losing my way      
in the thick black smoke      
found myself circling back      
to the place I started      
       
I was about to lose hope      
thought I would burn in the flames      
       
when an old man on a bike appeared        
the tandem kind      
it was God he said        
"i'll take you home"      
       
I was immediately at peace      
recognizing him at first glance      
I got on, he told me        
"this bike takes us both to maneuver        
you have to do your part"      
       
I pedaled hard and fast      
taken safely to my home      
my place of rest
