Back to Sleep

What is a nightmare
but to wake

and its over?

What is a daydream
but to wake within the sun?

of stretched fantasies
is that how my mind runs?

the quiet sound of birds
crush the hidden fear

of what I don't know
do I care

with empty paper
no pen to bear

just what do I care

all around
the sound of here

keeping pace
with systems of grace

pure
sure

of my mind
lurks around me
for more

whispering
taunting

yet haunting
my stumbled feet
move

to only write within my head

naked of writing

stripped

to fall

upon my bed

Ah sad in a way, I have pen and paper by my bed as usually some thing slips into my head but gone in the morning, if not recorded.grin

I like in the movie Bruce Almighty he sees the file cabinet of all his thoughts from his life. It would be neat if we could have that, would be neat to know what I was thinking 30 years ago.roll eyes daydream idea
