It

It watches you, waiting,
Waiting for when you are all alone,
Then in unseen dream-like blinks
It grasps hold of you and
Pulls you down into the
Darkness –
Like the swirling mist over water,
You stay out of touch,
Just above the surface, of reality,
Just within the boundaries of time,
But you have no need for time,
It drips off you like rain.
