Time and again when I close my eyes
Morpheus decides to carry me
To a familiar place a cliff, white rocks
An endless sea, afore me reflecting
Refracting light beams in all directions
Whilst to my sight there is just one,
An enticing horizon calling out, my name.
My closest friends and family seated around me
On lower planes seem to gaily laugh away
As I spot threatening white mighty waves,
Relentlessly approaching towards my silence
I witness them abduct a person at the time
Mercilessly gulping each into nothingness
Disappearance. A glimpse of consciousness
Impelling me to react in fear sadness and horror
Is quelled by the sincerity of my oneiric sentiments.
To my surprise only peace and tranquillity
As if anything that happens simply follows
An ethereal flow, time and again sparking life
A flicker under the impulse of an endless flux
And reflux extinguishing it in darkness
Only to evolve and continue, navigating through
Calm waters and raging cascades rendering
Even a nightmare a pleasant dream,
For the truth I recognise it conceals.
