Dreaming On The Edge

Submerging yourself
in the ghastly thrill
of recurring nightmares

Nocturnal visitations
to a hazy world
where the fantastic
becomes reality

Here sanity is banished
left behind in the daylight
and subconscious
is given free reign

Anything is possible
within the dark corridors
that twist and turn
inside the unconscious mind

Dragons become real
while familiar faces
seem like painted masks
unrecognizable

Follow the shadows
that beckon and call
until you find yourself
standing on the edge

Balanced on a precipice
above the abyss
knowing one more step
will take you beyond

I have shadow danced that edge many times,
It is no fun,
But this is a great way of expressing this dance.
Joel.

I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Beyond may not be darkness, either way it is a dance, nothing else can describe it as well, wonderful work Jonas
