Echoes of a Distant Dream

In a world unknown, I lost my way,
Blind to everything amidst the display,
Weightless, floating, adrift in space,
Only seeing one scene, my family's embrace.

Sitting there with my sister and kin,
We sang our hearts out, Arcade, we grinned,
But darkness approached in a swift, deadly car,
Running towards us, leaving scars.

Helpless, frozen, I pitied myself,
As rain poured down, like tears from a shelf,
The song became a lament, filled with despair,
My heart pounded loudly, gripped by a snare.

A voice within me called, urgent and clear,
"Come back, my dear, we must leave here.
Do you want to perish and wither away?
Return to your senses, live another day."

Beckoned four times, the voice would call,
But the car drew nearer, consuming all,
With a surge of strength, I turned around,
Reaching out, time stopped, without a sound.

The rain ceased falling, the car stood still,
I stepped towards my family, a void to fill,
But I questioned my sanity, was this all a dream?
They lay motionless, lifeless, or so it would seem.

Yet in my hand, a toy, a cherished gift,
Its inscription a mystery, a soul to uplift,
"We love you more than you'll ever perceive,
Love yourself, fight on, and never leave."

Shaken, I awoke from this surreal scene,
3:00 AM, the clock's hands were keen,
Running to my toy, to uncover the truth,
The inscription revealed love, my heart's soothe.

A message of encouragement, strong and clear,
"We'll always be with you, my son, never fear."
The cock crowed, signaling a brand-new day,
Reality embraced me, comforting my dismay.

Invisible voices portrayed my family's love,
In this dream, where reality would interwove,
With suspense, pain, and a love so deep,
Lost in the echoes of time, a secret to keep.

A consoling message echoed as I woke,
Embracing my soul, like a balm to invoke,
"Love yourself, dear one, never give in,
For we'll always be with you, through thick and thin."

Lost in the Echoes of Time, a tale of wonder,
Where dreams and reality danced in a thunder,
Through pain and love, a journey profound,
A reminder to cherish those always around.
