Day turned to night
Night to day
The patience sways
In a gathering haze
Confusion strikes
With every step
With every blink
Time changes
My body quits
My mind rages
Shallow hints
Dare me to squint
Crunch up nose
And clench my fists
No one knows
Of the subtle blows
They take to my head
When I lay in my bed
I’m at peace alone
In the dark
In the cold
I’m at peace when you sleep
In the chilling solitude
Of the dreams you choose
To never know
Those are the dreams
I choose to forever show
The ones that skip
From place to place
The ones that stare
Into the contours of my face
Into the pupils of my eyes
That gaze and rise to the starry skies
That glisten with black
Shadowing the earth
In its blanket of death
And its arch shaped girth
Tightening its grasp
On the midnight mass
Of sleeping souls
In their darkened
Dreamed holes
