Asleep,
To walk with will into umbral dark.
To venture beyond broken boundary of tempered veil
And to uknown realms without description.
To speak to visions and thoughts unminded.
To mingle with a forgiven strangeness
Among the profound and half remembered.
To lose one's names and become both act and audience
In theater foreign and familiar.
Is there crueler nightmare than to slip from such sweetened state
And wake and live so mundanely?
