"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

Dream waltz

NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-Four. Loosely on-prompt. 

once u-pon
one half moon
here we sleep
Hyp-nos' boon

in these hours
dreams they keep
back the dark
things that creep

but this night
some-thing breaks
thoughts leak in
our mis-takes

what is this
bloom that swirls
lifts us out
spreads in whorls

each of us
trapped in time 
can't quite mesh 
sense with rhyme

two by two
then they come
up from hell 
make us numb

screams we cry
as we sink
pulled from view
past the brink

could we stay 
must we go
through the fire
down be-low
