Unconsciousness

When my mind is
completely spent,
I find the most clarity.

 

Those insomniac nights
give me inspiration
unlike lucid days.

 

My eyes are exposed
to new understanding
even when I struggle
to keep them open.

 

Sometimes that shroud
of restless eyelids
provides restored perspective.

 

My unconsciousness takes over,
altering reality long enough
to create something
my self-awareness would never.
