In restless sleep strange figures play In theaters warped vague shapes display Changing scenes devoid of reason Faceless ghosts of unknown season Shadows dance in spectral light Shapeless things pervade the night Mindless scenes in empty spaces Mute dialogue in nameless places Confused, the dreamer softly moans Trapped in frames of darkest tones In endless streams the actors speak Knowing not the prize they seek Tangled webs the id embraces Chaotic maze in logic’s traces At breaking dawn long sought respite Until the curtain parts tonight the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Pegasus 111, Interesting form, choppy couplets, reflecting restless repose. The night has a way of exacerbating otherwise harmless thoughts while the subconscience scrambles normal agorisms of logical thinking resulting in disorientation and great unease. I could relate to this unsettling narrative all too well. Very nicely done. Dennis |
