Oneiros

You know me well, or so you say.
Each night I catch you
Between dreams and visions,
Realities and realms.

You know me, but you don’t know who I am.
You have seen my name,
You have heard my voice, perhaps
On the wind.

You think you know me.
Now, what do you know, exactly?
You know I am called Morpheus
And that is for a reason.

I am he who changes.
I am he who shapes dreams,
I am the one who can
Conjure any dream.

Dream is merciful to some,
Yet it can be cruel to others.
Dream is forgiving
Yet it can be menacing.

You say you know me,
But do you really know me?..
I am the one who
Rules over all.

I am Morpheus
I am Oneiros.
I am the son of Hypnos
I am Dream.
