Night Life

 

As I lie down to join the dead,

Projected visions stark and real,

Twist around and invade my head,

Not only can I see, but I feel...

 

An unseen side of me alive,

Now free to dance away the night,

With starlight power for life to thrive,

He shall live on to morning's light...

 

I know before this night is done,

In mystic waves of vivid thought,

A cryptic story shall be spun,

With backward answers left untaught...

 

Auroras dance and children play,

In this hazy netherworld of mine,

And here too will my monsters slay,

Should I sleep again in one day's time.
