In my anxious sleep,
I dreamt of a road
that divided the ocean
into a Northern Kingdom
and a Southern Kingdom.
I started my journey from the shoreline.
As I stepped onto the path
my legs began to move on their own accord,
as if they were magnetically attracted
to their final destination.
I moved without haste,
with a tempo of a maestro
conducting the symphony of a chaotic Armageddon.
The waves crashed against the road,
but my feet were warm and dry.
The sea creatures of the deep emerged from the abyss,
but my body was at peace.
I saw the lighthouse-
the journey's end;
she gleam resplendently
on the opposite shore.
I sprinted toward her
through the soles of my shoes
down to the bares of my feet.
To be in her light again...
Only to be awoken by my anxious consciousness
in the darkness of the early dawn.
