Self Meets the Sleeping Mind
I met myself in a dream last night
Cast circles upon the idle mind
To look into the mirror there
Within the depths, the unaware
I slept in blips
Awoke in haze
Spent lying time
In yesterdays
I floated under sailing stars
Greeted horrors near and far
The vast stampede within my brain
Lucidity, raving insane
Then woke again
To sleep this time
To death, and death
To be defied
From back before the natureβs edge
I worked around and hid, and dredged
All traps lay waiting for my hitch
Each demon creeping in a ditch
Yet round I worked and came about
To exit at my mental mouth
The monsters worked along with me
To help me be in synergy
