Transcendental Lullaby

I’ve now started to dream

 while being awake

 

Sleep no longer needed

 to open the gate

 

The visions come clearly

 the music I hear

 

My mind surrenders

 looking back on the years

 

I’m fully aware

 but entranced when they come

 

The words of my Fathers…

 the beat of a drum

 

My eyes partly close

 as the chanting begins

 

My spirit reclaimed

  —from the darkness within
