Wrapped in my cocoon of sleep
Lost among the black so deep
No trace of daytime thoughts that creep
About my waking mind

I'm searching for this place I go
Where random thoughts jaunt to and fro
And nothing can disrupt their flow
My worries have resigned

It is here that I reside
Where my truest passions lie
Not damaged by my thickened hide
of disillusionment

These images that flicker by
An often unrelenting tide
Of truths forgotten with a sigh
And battled with resent

They remind me of who I am
Years of idyllic folly crammed
Into an idea, on the lam
From ordinary life

But it is here, where darkness reigns
I find my inner self regains
what once was lost, and now is sane
My being, free of strife

I wonder, do these dreams reveal
A future that cannot be real
From wounds that have yet to heal
Inflicted long ago

Or is there still some hope for me
That I am too distraught to see
Lurking where I have yet to be
And keeping me in tow

You see my friends
My story ends
When sunlight shows it's head and lends
It's light, unto an apathetic world

But it resumes late every night
When I reclaim my inner light
My dreams resume their steadfast plight
in sleep, as I lay curled

I just sang that, as I read it!

That is so beautiful!

Thankyou!

the night holds special powers, a chilling write!
