Dream of rhymes and poetry

When you lay your head down

To say hello to the sandman

May your dreams be of poems

And rhymes of faraway lands

Intricate weaving of words

And thoughts inside your head

When you drift to another state

A verse is born as you're asleep in bed

Lines narrating like R. E. M.

The rhythm as it flows smoothly

The heart beats much faster

As you jump awake to write suddenly

A random memory as you're resting

Remembered like it was earlier that day

A phrase containing a handful of words

Vivid and clear that your mind has displayed

As you nap or sleep, think deeply of

A rhyme, a thought, a word it could be

It may inspire and create a new idea

When rested you can write some poetry
