Description
Once upon a night
I fell into my covers
I lost grip as I fell into the abyss of my mind
Falling with only the pillow beside me

As I knew I would fall forever
I felt myself begin to slow
My feet started to drag on something cold
And my head soon lay upon my pillow
My eyes fell heavily

I awoke to the sun shining in my eyes
As I raised my hand to shield myself
I saw my hand as never I had before
It showed great lines that were not mine

I looked past my hand and focused
The gleaming light cut through hundreds of leaves
Trees made a ceiling to the world
The sun seemed as if it were heaven

My head fell softly to the side
I had realized it was still resting on my pillow
The feeling was strange and new
I knew my body was not my own

I looked beyond the down comfort
Looked upon the landscape to my side
It was a forest of beauty
A glowing mist settled easily in the suns rays

I felt the sensation to explore
Loving this entirety as I walked
I sat up with envy but could not move
To the sky my eyes wandered

I drew my hand to my face with obscurity
I stroked my down my eyes
My fingers met at my chin
As I let out a sigh

This is not the face I believe in
This is not the face I see in the mirror
I cannot see it from the outside
I know I am not my own or anyone's own

I close my eyes as I breathe deep into my chest
My existence feels elevated
I feel like I am rising to the canopy
Like I am to watch the ground evolve

I open my eyes to myself standing
I look to my feet which are bare
I look to the ground laden with graves
Homes of a thousand decaying leaves

I try to step forward toward the mist
It is only a reach away
Yet I cannot touch as I take up my arm
It moves away like I am death

This heavenly glow surrounding is a cage
I try to turn to see my surroundings
I cannot move my feet
I cannot move even my eyes

I finally exhale as my eyes draw close
I find myself laying again in the leaves
My head is resting in it's familiar spot
On my pillow where it should be

I whimper slightly as I close my eyes
I feel as though I am Tantalus
Never reaching food or water
Which I so desperately need

I open my eyes and there I am
No sunlight in my eyes
No mist flowing about me
Just the ceiling fan above me
In my dark room
Where I never sleep
