I awakened once
But they sedated me again
So powerful was the drug they administered
My eye did close and fasten
Shut tight
Bolted down
How I’ve struggled to reopen
The portal I had found
Blinded by them
Plunged back into the dark
But I knew I’d seen the light
And they could not extinguish the spark
My faith was strong
They couldn’t snuff it out
And there’s always a chink, you see
Even in a black hole, no doubt
And though the door is heavy
And locked from the outside
Once you’ve been awake
The illumination does not subside
There’s always a gentle glow
However dormant it seems
So close the window if you wish
For I awaken and see in my dreams.
