The Maze of Dreams by S. FrankensteinLost in the Maze of Dreams
Chased by the Darkness that is me
By demons that snap mercilessly
So I stagger, going on.
And in the middle, to my surprise
Stood two mighty angels,
Guarding a place of Light.
Their glare at my approach,
Kept the demons' fangs at bay,
But when I tried to step through the door,
With spears they did bar the way.
I begged and pleaded,
But they stood there just the same.
Saddened, I began to turn away.
"Enter my child," I heard someone say,
And the angels bowed their heads,
At attention in silence stood.
So I stepped inside the place of Light
Where once only Darkness had ruled.
Light was all around me,
But one was brighter still.
"Am I dead?" I asked,
And I heard a laugh.
"Is this Heaven or is this Hell?"
The voice did answer "Yes,"
And handed me a shining key,
"Many doors will that open,
Many sights you will not wish to see,
But I'll ask you to remember
Not every door needs a key."
As I stood there all confused,
It spoke as it began to rise,
"Do not mistake it for your salvation,
But your way it may help you find."
Desperately I grabbed at it,
"Wait!" I did cry.
"Why did you risk coming here,
Where the Darkness has full sway?"
"Huddled in the deepest Dungeon,
For the Meanest of Crimes,
Tossed like a leaf in the mighty storm,
Still if you look deeply,
You may find a hint of Light."
So the Light did leave me,
And I watched it's awesome rise
Until the chilling howl of a Demon
Woke all from Light's brilliant spell,
And the chase began again.
