i became imprisoned in a dream during the night
i was aware, completely aware, and i could not flee
i knew what would happen, and i feared the future
i could not escape, though, i could not stop it
i ran from realm to realm, searching for help
i found my way back to safety, though not unharmed
i fell and was wounded, and my heart was pricked
i returned, though, to my true mind at my place of rest
 
------
 
the continuum of time presses onward,
we are pressed ever closer in this place
i can feel the others nearby,
and we are very close, too close
