Subject: Corridor of Dreams
I wake up to find myself
In the middle of a black corridor
One that twists and turns
Following its own demented path

I sit up, trying to remember the dream
A dream lovely in its content
A dream of far away places
Where everything was right
And I could not longer
Feel any pain or pleasure

I force my muscles to contract
So that I may rise once again
And continue exploring this serpentine corridor
That entraps my being entirely

I start to walk down the hall
Without much notice of the thinning air
As I come upon them
I begin to try the door handles
Yet there is a deep apprehension
Holding me back from the doors secret

I finally place my hand upon
The demon shaped doorknocker
I know why I knock
I am hoping that I am not alone
There is not noise from the other side
So my heart sinks back into me

I wrap my hand around the doorknob
That feels cool and welcoming
I turn and push into the door
And discover a large, curtained window
I desperately throw the crimson curtains away
Only to see the truth again

They are walking away from me
Throw a lovely meadow
A meadow full of lush greens
And vibrant, blooming flowers
I pound on the window and yell
Hoping to get their attention once again
But as it was before, it is again,
And they simple fade away
I become frantic and whip around
I rush out of this horrible room
Now as I try the doorknob,
I am burned and unable to open it
I clutch my writhing hand
And dash down the corridor

For hours I search
Checking every door
I am so frantic
I do not see the doors changing
They are no longer depictions of demons
But those of angels and seraphs
The hall brightens,
And all is focused on a door

I stop
I catch my breath
I raise my hand
And I brace myself

I open the door
To find a bed
I crawl beneath the white covers
And hope never to wake again
