Illusive Rituals

Endless tunnels lead me, to dim corners of strange dimensions
Floating with waves to infinity, loops curling me to shores
I lose the stories seen, in witty rituals of my mind.

This feels like what happens in my mind when I'm trying to fall asleep but can't. I loved "in witty rituals of my mind." Great writing, I have never tried this style. Thanks for the inspiration!
