I saw the words skitter past
As the creature gently rose
Swimming through the white noise
It opened itself and became two

Their mouths sucking in sounds
Silenced their surroundings
I watched from the silent ship
Crashing against the waves

The bright blues and greens
That horizon showed arced
Gently nudged me into sleep
I dreamed of a place normal to me

The sloping ice bergs woke me
Shaking free from the deep
garden of ice refracting
lasers sliceing the light

The gentle breeze
with its silent bees
Brushs against what was my face
As i strech on my time and place

Multi coloured pixie people
Dance and jig on the table
Entertain us with poem and song
The trip is quick not so long

Bright bubbles burst the sky
All around we take up and fly
We dive into the great abyss
We travel down far into this

And all the while the light
From the walls penetrates
The darkened entralls
Now i know know i see this world was never meant for me.
< !signature-->

 Pride of place in the human race goes to one without a trace,
of subtlety style ego or grace for this position, I wish to say, i would be proud as i am greater than any other face in the crowd

You painted a picture with your words! A perfect example of what poetry is! Good job!
