Sleep on it

What fancy projects when the eyelids drop  
and Morphean theater gains a screen  
where dormant inspiration goes to shop  
for the grotesque, or, a frivolous scene?  
 
The Muse with Morpheus will mix confirmed  
whenever consciousness slips well away  
and relentless reason becomes infirmed    
until welcome dawn breaks another day  
and sees reason to it's old throne restored.  
 
Yet with wakeful constancy now askew  
with off kilter thinking rightly adored  
for turning old thoughts into something new.  
 
And thus...a repurposing is sired...  
when dream gods by the muse...are inspired.
