Fresh Dream

I wandered through

my nightly dream

And through it all

a recurrent theme



The day before

had brought a joy

That made me feel

once more a boy



Though my heart

might be a flutter

Streams of words

in dream I’d utter



But  now I try

to recall to write

The dreams I had

recede from sight



No worries though,

I’ll dream again

And then the words

will return again



And I’ll keep a notepad

at my bedside. …
