A Prayer to Morpheus
© G. LaMonte 7/2014

I blew out the candle and lay myself down and prayed to the King of Dreams
My soul was weary and I’d lost my ground; I prayed for one peaceful night’s sleep
I ran through the house all hallways and doors, pursued by something unseen
Every childhood nightmare and ghost from my past was inside the inside of my dream

Morpheus, King of Dreams – Hold your lover near
We’ll shimmer in starlight, no shadow to cast – Let me sleep past my fear

I shaped the key to my hand with a thought, and I followed the thread to his lair
The key to the lock, and I stepped in the room, and I found my Drowsy King there
Was a silver-eyed, silver-haired God of my dreams, as my fingertips touched his disguise
He smiled, “We are not here to make love, my sweet. We are here to bring your dreams to light.”

Grey-eyed Warrior, Grey-winged Love – You could be flawless, but you know me well enough
To leave every scar of change and time upon your skin – Spider-web thin

He kissed my third eye as I slipped in the sheets; I heard his voice as I drifted
“You must wake thrice and you must wake true. Sweet dreams.” And the spell was lifted.

I woke once in fear and I knew it was false – I woke once in tears with salt on my tongue
I woke last in daylight and all was not lost, but the fear that would fade in the Sun

Morpheus, King of Dreams – Hold your lover near
We’ll shimmer in starlight, no shadow to cast – Let me sleep past my fear (2x)
