A Dream in Verse—by William Helms

Often in the depths of sleep

a hazy glow lights up my keep

and in my head, a tiny light

lights up and lets me wander.

     Through the blurry air I walk,

and through shut eyes do I wearily gawk

as eerie silence fills my head

and still, I wander.

     Over valleys, under hills,

through gentle, windy trickling rills,

beneath the soil, below the stars,

on and on I wander

     Onward! Onward! To the sea

where, in lapping waves, the ocean breathes,

and when only oblivion smiles gently down

do I cease to wander

    

  Moon shines, waves lap, sea breathes.

Finally, finally, I rest.
