To Sleep is to Live

My head is full of frightening things,
I’m not sure where they’re derived.
Sometimes they shock and amaze me,
How have I survived?

At night I am a superhero,
A nana nap makes me a star.
A restful sleep is not as it sounds,
A microsleep takes me too far.

The tales of man, the dreams of her,
Run parallel to time.
The stars above, the water below,
There’s no reason and no rhyme.

The most powerful force is imagination,
It knows not of earthly constraints.
Next time you have a powerful thought -
Let go of your restraint.
