'Round The Fire

Into a light, I fall
Out from behind my eyes
Into the realm of, I know not where…
A realm of shadows, of glittering dust
I dance with the faeries
I sing with the elves, the ghosts
And vampires too
As they encircle me, I am not afraid
Oh, no…not me!
I find space in the ring
And dance ‘round the fire
As they dance,
As we sing,
Spinning in magic
Breathing in their enticing
Drug…
I can fly, and breathe in the pond
Am I as they, or
Simply dead?
Better yet,
Do I care?
As I dance with the faeries
And I sing with the elves, the ghosts
And vampires too
Until I float up
Into the darkness
Out of my eyes
And I know that I am awake.
