Sleepwalking
April 27, 2016
Embraced with arms of sleep,
Yet walking on hardwood floors.
They were clouds beneath my feet,
But would break me if I fell
Consciousness slipped from me,
Then back,
I was drowning in a river
Not of water but of lost thoughts
They entered my lungs,
Their essence overwhelmed all
They stole my senses
But without resistance.
When I met the wall,
It reeled me from the river
Like a fish,
Torn from its livelihood.
I had awoken,
And I believed myself conscious,
But my true self was lost
Alive in the river
