A Dream

I was driving, you see
o'er roads quite winding
covered with many a tree
and something blinding

Like octopus ink
blocking out my view
my heart began to sink
in fear of not returning to you

Running then was I
across dew-laden grass
though forwards took from tide to tide
running backwards was quite fast

But when I turned around then
to try to run straight
Something pulled me down again
like an iron-clad weight

A final attempt at last
to make good my escape
I fail at my task
which haunts me 'til I wake

Written about a dream I had experienced last night.  I was driving, but there was a black cloud in front of my eyes, and I couldn't see clearly.  Then I was running, and when I ran facing forwards, I wasn't getting anywhere, but when I ran backwards, I went fast.
It was quite strange and confusing, and so was the sequence of events - which is why I kept the rhyme scheme to a simple ABAB.

28/7 - revisions - restructured the fourth stanza, as it was problematic.  Hopefully the flow and logic areas have been taken care of.  Also switched in -> at in reference to the task.  Additionally, upon re-read, I felt that 'like an octopus's ink' was too wordy, and that 'like octopus ink' was sufficient.  I thank you all again for your revision suggestions - let me know if everything is good now.
