Before I Woke Up

What did I do before I woke up?
I can’t remember,
Did I leave my mind?
My body?
What did I find?
Did I travel anyplace?
A distant galaxy,
A different dimension?
Heaven?
Hell?
I cannot tell,
Something is missing,
I look at the clock, no way!
I’ve lost a whole day,
Something is wrong,
I couldn’t have slept that long,
What did I do before I woke up?
Did I sleep thru the night?
Or travel until the morning light,
Funny though,
I can look down and see,
My sleeping body…..

A charming poem, Timothy. A touch of twilight zone... just the way I like them.
