Beyond The Wall Of Sleep

Every now and then it seems to me

that there is greatest danger lying hidden in the depths

of sleep

Sad is the wanderer who is travelling here

for far too often, or just longer than his mortal mind

would bear

From the other world he can never fully return

after the passing of a certain period of time,

as the forces of the other side are with him all the

while,

are surrounding his mind,

as they are now with him all the while.

Obscuring his mind, his spirit,

they chain him to this place or state:

mind and body will become lethargic, listless and inert,

and then, driven by his wounded soul,

he will be longing for nothing more, except the end

itself -

for darkness and for death.

Every now and then it seems to me

that there is greatest danger lying in the depths of

sleep

Sad is the wanderer who is travelling here

for far to often, or just longer than his mind would

bear.
