Madness

there is a little madness that sleeps inside my head and it awakes and talks to me each night I go to bed it speaks to me of heroes and the journeys that they take from quiet sleep in forests deep it begs me now awake its gentle tugs pull back the sheets as if by unseen hand and whispers softly in my ear oh yes I understand adventures unbelievable in wondrous lucid dreams and there be dragons there to slay l wonder what that means I now look forward to the night and madness as a friend and should I die before I wake it may not be the end for now there is a place I’ve seen just past the forest stand where madness and adventure wait beyond the things of man

I like this! I never thought of our dreams as madness; but, I guess when they keep you up or it excites you to the point that you can't get back to sleep that makes sense. I love that your poem takes something simple out of life and makes it sound do poetic and beautiful. Congratulations on getting featured this week!
