Pillow Ships

On winds of sleep in pillow ships
I sail outside the mind,
in waters lost to those awake,
impossible to find.
Beyond the realm of consciousness,
with canvas tightly sewn;
across the briny sea of id
I navigate alone--

to harbor on the continent
of antimatter thought,
where magic lives to show me things
reality forgot.

Very smooth write, Dean. It slid off the tongue effortlessly, as a good piece of poetry should. Thank you for sharing.
