Dream's Deep by Georgia Kretz

Dream's Deep  by Georgia Kretz

While you’re sleeping

They come

And they change

From the peaks of the tallest mountains

To the forgotten

Forbidden

Deep

And it is here

They are most strange

The deep

Where you are the stranger

In the twisted world they create

Things grow

Things shrink

And it would seem to an observer

That you were on the brink

Of insanity

But I don’t think so

For the observer

Forgets

That in their own dreams

This is the place they go

And mostly

In this deep of dreams

Nothing is ever as it seems
And sometimes

In the dark of the night

You are forced to fight

Against the monsters

Of your nightmares

And you scream

And cry

And you start to believe you’ll really die

And your life

It flashes before your eyes

You close them now

And you jolt

Awake

Breathing ragged breaths

And realizing you were never

Even close

To death
