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. …
