Endless sleep
I took an endless sleep last night
 resting under my half burnt tree
 It started with darkness surrounding me
 enveloping me until it became all I could breathe
 Then swirls of blue and green petals
     twisting, and dancing
    until they all floated away
 
 I landed on a bed of fire
 Flames lapping at my skin
     touching but not burning
 I felt the heat on my hands
    warming, and calming
  soothing my mind
 
 Not a single thing in sight, nothing but fire
 No noise, no sound
 Silence constricted me
 
 I took a deep breath and continued walking, 
   searching,
 looking for something that can't be seen
 
 I crossed a bridge, half intact but the end was    burnt down
 Pieces falling off, slowly charring away
 
 I realized it was a means to an end
 The bridge taking place of my life
 I slowly sat,    waited for nothing
 Still no sound, nothing in sight
 
 Suddenly I was back under my tree
 This time it wasn't burnt
 All ash had gone away
 
 I heard singing
   a melody in my ears
 Everything is back to normal
 Everything seems fine
 
 But when I looked down, flame greeted me
 A bird is on fire
 All black and red 
 Smoke arose from his chest   
 
 dissolving green and blue
 
 I slipped into endless sleep last night
 
 Now I'm alive in the dead world
