Apocalyptic Blues

Within the glade

comes the parade

of the yellow lizards

with the wizard in blue

leading the way

to the place where

faces are never shown

and rotting flesh clings

to bones brittle and old

and exceptionally cold.

Along the way I see

the decay and in haste

I quicken my pace

turning my face away

as the wizards yellow lizards

look on in obedient disgrace.

It’s all a blur as I awaken

with the mistaken illusion

of the nights terrible

passing.

Was it just a dream?

Isn’t everything?

I don't know what to say about this one. It came to me intact as one long rambling piece. Kind of like the nightmare it describes.
