Nights Sleepless nights, counting stars and runaway sheep, Trying to cross over into some kind of wonderland, Dreaming a while on the border of wake and sleep, My bed is rather comfy and I do not feel the need, To get up and smoke or eat and drink, Or... Slowly drifting off, First gentle image appearing, A language without sounds, Souls intercommunicating, A little story unfolds, And as ever I am the star, But there are other faces here, Strange and yet familiar, They are saying important things, Full of prophesy and warning, And I can barely understand, What all this may mean to me, And when I reach for it It slips, I shake, awake; Time for morning coffee. |
