Dreamer (Written during my english exam)

Awake, young one,
Awake from your slumber,
Shed off your mortal shell,
And enter my
World.

I am Morpheus,
Lord of Dreams,
Come to my realm,
And don't be afraid,
It's only a dream.

Ah, I see a beast,
With a tentacled maw,
A strong jaw,
Deep set eyes.
Huh? I see.
This is how you see
Your father.

Look up there.
A bird? No! A roc.
A mighty roc with a
Screeching voice,
Claws of iron,
And a beak of steel.
That's your mother,
In your eyes.

Who is she?
That ethereal form?
Why, that is her,
Your Aphrodite,
Your Venus,
Shadowy, Half-Naked,
Beautiful, Half-Shown.
That is how you,
See of her.

Now, dawn is coming.
Rest now, young one.
Sleep again, in your shell,
And tonight, return once more,
To my realm,
Of dreams.
