Waves of Consciousness

Below the shivering waves,
I bob between conscious and unconsciousness
The world between wake and sleep
Images of the world outside my mind
Slip past me
Ghosts of a past life.
Floating into the surreal where
People walk on ceilings
With skin as green as grass.
Swimming away from the reality I once knew
Yet, was that real either.
People who talk out two sides of the mouths
With skin stretched between their ears.
I float betwixt these two worlds
Hope the real world will show its face.
