To wonder of the scope of things
when dreaming one begins to write
the words to someone elses' song
a composition of the night

Compiled of someone elses' thoughts
who knows just what they want to say
yet asks you to collaborate
conjoined in spirit in some way

To wake and find the words are gone
yet still remember having wrote
this part of an unfinished song
unable to recall a note

and so begin another day
with something missing from the start
quite certain somewhere music plays
uncertain of who wrote which part

To wonder of the scope of things
when dreaming one begins to write
anothers' words as parting notes
might seem as if they'd come to light

Sy,
Thanks, a recurring theme of mine, perhaps now for more obvious reasons.
Doc

Huan Yi,
Thank you. I did a little research and see you posted a piece entitled "Nocturnal", which I found to be very expressive. I think more research is in order.

Martie,
Thanks, I think it happens to most of us all the time, I'm only trying to put it into perspective.
Doc

So, does this mean you were also listening to me talk in my sleep last night? (since I forgot to write down the dream I had!)

Huan Yi,
This actually began as a dream. I specifically remember writing someone elses' words down, and, offering suggestions as to form and meter.
The content was lost on awakening, and, this is what took its' place. Where such things come from is anyones' guess, the "Soul" is as good as any. Myself, I don't have any answers, only questions.
Doc

Midnitesun,
Now, m'dear, if you don't remember, and, I can't recall. I would have to say that it is well within the realm of possibilities.
These words could very well have been yours.
If no-one else claims them, for what it's worth, I'll swear we co-wrote this piece.
Doc
