I wrote this for my friends at Salty Dreams when they commented so much on my poem "My Dream Reality".

Where is it we go
When we close our eyes so tight
That our mind escapes us
To wander into the time warp
Of our inner existence

We leave our body to travel into the mists
That evaporates our mind within us
Into miniscule particles of ghostly visions
In blurry impressions of mirror like reflections
Light beams bounce all around us in open walls

Of voids so deep that the abyss
Whirl us down its spine
To the uncertainty that nightmare scream from
In an amusement ride that chills us into the fright
Of white visions stealing our breathe away

Do we need this ride that will send shaking in earthquakes
To awake us in a drowning pool of sweat
I think we must conquer and swim out of this road block
For the answer we seek still must lie beyond that

It might take me the door on the other side of the coffins
To reach the bony reflections of some lost souls
That will offer us the insight that will calm our travel
In something never said and never spoken
The thought will transcend us

We come out torn inside with the tears of understanding
The purpose of our existence
To coexist in the blessing of two worlds
That merges at night for an instant
In the time warp of heavy sleep

I write so much that I may seem to be inconsiderate of others; I do apologize for my flaws.
