Have You been to the Dream Cave?

Have You been 

to the Dream Cave?
 

seen

Blackness darker than Night 

stretching farther than You can fathom

so You cannot see the Walls?

 

heard

a low whistle of Wind 

sourceless, from Lands faraway

stirring up

the Rattling Bones 

of Skeletons of Dreams Forgotten?

 

felt

the presence of a Thing older than Time

lurking somewhere just beyond your vision

while Its own Eyes bore into your Soul

a Soul once sheltered by the mirage of Consciousness,

now laid bare to be devoured 

by a nightshade Gaze?

 

Have You been

to the Dream Cave? 

 

found yourself

in a pit of Hell

in the deepest folds of your sleeping Mind

no Dreams left to be had

Here now 

every inch of yourSelf filled with the urge to

RUN?

 

run until you freed yourSelf,

grabbed onto the Lifeline and

pulled yourSelf back up into the Waking World 

drenched in ice cold sweat

breathing so hard your lungs could burst

heartbeat like mothwings

nerves firing like bullets

 body quaking with animal Fear? 

 

Do You remember what came before

that rude Awakening?

 

Do You know that you have been 

to the Dream Cave?

 

Do You remember it?

 

DO YOU?
