Sleepwalking a State of Mind

Ancient memories will drip in the mind Slow and unending creating a sound The insanity is pounding me stone-blind I'm dizzy from spinning, twirling around Reason has stumbled into the abyss Sleepwalking through night's dim lit realm of shade To vanquish tremors in the mind's deep mist As the passage through time shutters and fades To walk without knowledge memories hide As the dreary darkness of fear has grown Dreams flee away as their shadows collide In a silent state of the dark unknown To be unaware of my soul in flight To walk in sleep through the breadth of the night 7/17/18 Sleepwalking poetry contest

Very nice job. I especially loved the beauty of the last line. The last line is everything in a sonnet!!

Frederick, I can easily place myself into the drivers seat of your poem and take this sad, sad write. Your emotive sonnet is that compelling!

How weird, after your visit to my 'mind' poem to find yours too. Walked your walk also, and understand. This deep, realistic and sad...and sadly true for many. Great poem.

Such a dramatic first line Frederic, to open your reflective poem tinged with sadness and fear. A superb sonnet with deep imagery and emotion. Best wishes for a win. ~Susan
