Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Morpheus

Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
picture source
 
When night's black hand chokes out the light
You pray like hell to fall asleep
And there find madness or delight
You're in the Dreaming, dark and deep

Within this realm, King Dream does rule
This is the land he calls his home
The dreams he conjures may be cruel
Beware the time after the gloam

What you expect is what you see
Sand in your eyes, you sleep and then
When dreams become reality
You may not ever wake again.
