When happiness does abound

Atop the mighty waters
The gate to freedom floats
No need to swim up to it
No need to ride a boat
Fear not the glow before you
Nor the disturbance that lingers behind
Lighting your way through the darkness
In an altered state of mind
Simply walk among the ripples
I promise, it’s not too deep
For once you pass through
(watch your step, could be steep)
There’s no more you can do

Take the plunge, into eternal sleep

Lying in bed, eyes starting to close
Something bumped into me, so much for the doze
Yet nobody’s here, in this dark little space
Just shadows in corners, I’m still, just in case
I’m really not in here, alone, by myself
Nothing is moving, but the clock on the shelf
I figure it’s my imagination, gone wild, once again
So I close my eyes slowly, and exhale from within
Wait, something’s not right, as the fan starts to whir
Looking around, I can see someone stir
Blowing about on the wisp of a breeze
Moving in circles, gyrating, I freeze
I open my mouth, and scream, quite out loud
Discerning, this vision, of the unearthly crowd
