The poet with the unfeeling hands
fell deep into dreamland's waters
flailing in the darkness
until he found a dream to grasp
to pull him from oblivion,
just as the final breaths of his troubled soul
bubbled from his drowning lips.
And when his eyes fluttered open,
saved once again from darkness,
He told the rescuers
"There was this angel ..."

from The Lost Sailor.
