The Knock of Improbablity (Part 1)

Sitting peacefully, I lay motionless on the deck of my ship I hear the birds chirping low and the waves put me to sleep They rock me back and forth as my mother in past did I feel her presence as the birds fly overhead, they are my herd As the border of sleep and reality sets in I hear a distant knocking on the ships deck My eyes drift slowly open but nothing is seen The birds overhead motion me back to sleep The birds chirp turns into dogs bark as I drift into dream I see my childhood pet, my best friend play in the leaves She looks up at me and opens her mouth What comes out is not bark but a knocking on the ships deck I escape from my dream my eyes open wide This time I heard it closer though coming from behind I look around to see if anything is there But alas the birds are the only thing that stare As I fall back into the realm of pretend The same knocking though from hell is louder in my ear My eyes open wider as the light escaped with fear The knock is gone away but my heart beats up so near I cant sleep no for when I try that knock comes from her Is it the ship or worse yet does that knock come from here? I point to my mind though a game has been played I point to my soul as it shivers now in pain
