Dimension Door
They arrived as the village slept
whispered and fidgeted excitedly
plans kept, alliances sewn, maps scrutinized
high octane mixtures to fuel the mind
shadows danced as the candle exhaled
ears hunger for words.
The voice spoke and the room faded
a dense forest, dark and evil
tension as thick as the bottled sky
a hideous creature levitated above the swamp
flesh hardened and transformed to dust
we regrouped near the aging temple.
Time cannot enter when the table is scattered
with thoughts
imaginations amplified and transmitted as a single ambition
a fantastic journey on an infinite sea
we sang of adventure as the village awakened.
