Within Slumber

A battle for consciousness subsides
As I slowly drift away
Escaping dreary nine to five 
To where I’m unafraid

Unbeknownst traveling abroad
To a mysterious destination
Foggy roads trekked aimlessly 
No plan or inclination

Iterant landscapes visited
Observed from cliff high viewing
Moving on determined steps	
With tenacity my kenned renewing

Misplaced in noise woven and white
Hunting out my dubious standing
Questioning every decision I’ve made
Angst empowers a constant expanding

In stagnating limbo and impetus standing
Forcing actions I never could dare
Through quagmire city of stumbling zombies
Awakening instincts…somewhere
