Description

I opened my eyes:
Quiet thoughts said
They still stayed closed,
Yet here flooded monsters
From unborn, undead lands.
I started up, fell down,
Cried, dashed and dove
Among thickets of dark shapes;
Then on me propounded, impounded,
They captured and supplanted.
Crushed, I saw that world we all dread:
That forbidden dark corridor
Past space and time,
And the chancellor of the dead,
Drumming to demons chants
And choruses of fallen leaves.
And I knew, I knew it as reality . . .
But this unrest was only a part of sleep
And sleep I did.

-- B.S. Smith
