Torn asunder from a dream
The dented pillow \'neath my head
I could have sworn, I heard a scream
Of fighting men on a grassy field
Below the ramparts each other they glean
A bouncing off the castle walls
Such bright and lovely bugle calls
Before this image I did see
The mother ship upon the sea
Sleek and slim she flies until
Upon the rocks with such a thrill
Below the waves on shifting sands
The crew gropes upward, bony hands
Further still in memory
I dive within my reverie
Stories wild charge through my mind
Fraught with challenge of every kind
Until the sun clears out my head
And I arise, from deep in bed.
