From the ooze of dream
My eyes open in darkness
The dripping of water
A soft steady drumming
Out of the darkness
Through the blind I see light
Puddled on the patio
And I realized
While I had drifted to sleep
Random strange in my head
Things and people out of nothing
Impossible appearing merging
Worlds birthed as I slept
Clouds appearing merging
Opening and falling
A soft steady drumming
Fading with dreams
Leaving dim puddles of light
Drying to nothing
Before the night came again
