When the Wolves Howl
I've trusted my senses through
dark nights,
sleeping my deliberate way into
realistic dreams,
soon slipping fast enough into
oblivion.
When the wolves howl to the
moon,
I would've already forgotten
what reality was,
and their growls would've lured
me into a whole new realm.
Maybe there's a demon lurking
somewhere in between,
forcing me to question
my "dreams,"
though do I even dream,
or am I merely a puppet
dancing around two realities?
For whatever answer satisfies
my poor knowledge of
consciousness,
I just hope that these words
forever remain where they may
be.
'Cause this page could soon be
the ashes beneath the flames of
tomorrow's reality,
but nothing will take away from
these words for which I question,
for what I am doing now as I
write,
am I being tempted to dream
about reality,
or am I realistically the demon
somewhere in between?
I believe either way that these
words are the part of my soul
that is awake,
and I believe there is confusion
when my mind slips away as the
moon rises,
but is the moon just a symbol of
laughter,
laughing at the barking wolves,
or were the wolves apart of my
dreams all along?
