Pandemonium
Doesn't it get late early
This little voice said
From a place way deep,
Deep down in my head
As my vision blurred
So I could barely see
And the world seemed to whirl
Round and around about me.
Colour came and colour went
Shades of black, grey and white
And a star that pulsed
A varying intensity of light.
My vision cleared
To reveal a plain
Whipped by wind
And lashed by rain,
Water rising,
Water falling,
The Mystic voice
Screaming and calling
Close your ears
Fallen child
For this is a time
For the truly wild.
Throbbing drums
And singing trees
As I fell down
Forced To my knees.
And the whirling stopped
And by and by
I watched that star
Flare and die.
Was I awake, was I asleep
Here or there, or anywhere
As I fought to escape
My wild nightmare.
It's gone it's gone
The chanting said
And the voice returned
To my aching head.
I tossed and tossed
On a stormy Black Sea
As that voice
Tortured me:
Nonsense muttered
Or so it seemed
Until I truly slept, released
At last from my waking dream.
