Dream Journal: Episode 4

One night, dreamt a day called the Dark constant

It’s a phenomenon observed in every continent

The extinguishment of light is its stark content

A prevailing of the darkness to the bounds often.

Casual day in a school unpacking some eggs

Participation in contests, winning nonetheless

Couldn’t track my time, I felt cold in my vest

Decided to leave, so my chauffeur came dressed.

But wait a minute, the watch read 1:52

PM of course but this can’t be true

The sky became dark as if twilight grew

A nightmare of sorts is coming to be true.

How can I describe what I saw in my dream?

Imagine its midnight in an afternoon scene

As if the sun was snuffed out in a vicious scheme

Pitch black in middle, blue gradient in the seams

Went to a friend’s house with my family afoot

Quick glances at the sky had us all quite hooked

An eerie sight beholding had us all quite shook

Prayers whispered as we dared to peek-a-look.

Time to bring out my star piece of tech

Power of a car in a small screen object

Point it to the sky at the dark spot just yet

It crashed with smoke at the sight instead.

Theorising begins as the paranoia kicks

From the Wrath of God to powerline trips

Fluttering through pages of divine scripts

Concluded at last, it was a Solar Eclipse.
