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 deeply think of
A rhyme , thought , a word it could be
It may inspire and produce a new idea
When rested you can write some poetry
