The Blue Marble, Sinister Plane

Dreaming

Open, starlit embellished blue marble

This sinister plane, this ever-expanding world

The demiurge, this consciousness, perplexes me

and alters my countenance for one more nocturnal state

Withered words fall from dreams that stalk my destiny

Always lucidly walking alone in these parallel dream lands

Find myself between some eldritch brush and hanging ivy

Peering at the gaze of some unnamed, scaly horror

A ghoulish disposition, but neither of us look away

Under floating gardens where addled faces of the moon decide when I depart

The blue marble remains the key to this haunted greenery:

“Be made new in the astral planes!”
