The smoke from the burning
Of the midnight oil
Clouds my mind;

But in these clouds
I see fantastic visions
Of such things that
Cannot exist;

I see no point in a struggle
Against myself;

So I jump headfirst into
This oneiric realm
And find my decision
To be wise;

In but only half-a-score hour
I have traversed the Infinite
And experienced a joy
Which I cannot describe
Using such mediocre and worthless
Nonsense like words;

And yet my body has not left its position
Through this whole trip;

This nocturnal ritual is
Undervalued and overanalyzed
By many;

But I know what it truly is;

It is a reunion with Paradise
And a trip through the jungle
Of my thoughts;

And as I leave these pure images behind
I know that I will be returning soon
And that these images will not
Leave me.
