Tip Toes

The silent sanctity of sleep 
Could be to effectively retrieve 
Remnants of our repressed revenant 
Linking the missing pieces 
Between the annals of folklore and immediacy 
Yet it’s a mystery 
How when I’m sound asleep 
I intimately tip toe towards my oblivion blissfully 

I barely blink as my life raft sinks into a sea of sharks 
Pulling apart bamboo shoots of my raft 
Shards of horned ivory glaciers deviously depart  
Chartering an emerging route to delinquently dart 
Out of a desolate, damning destiny 
Sensibly so I can spill back into my senses eloquently 

Gently, reminded to recapture the revelation as it came to me 
But I barely breath in this purgatory 
Cathartically contracting and reacting 
One node in my chain reaction 
To this rehearsal for eventual eternity 
Of uncertainty, laboriously languishing in this trance of lucid sleep  
Coiling, caressing subconscious subtleties 
Unconsciously haunting me 
So dauntingly
