(just an odd meandering of thought...not really a poem)

where do dreams go
when you're wide awake?
do they hide
in a soft white cloud

does the demon
under your bed
steal away your dreams
when you're wide awake?

do you pinch yourself
when you dream, or
when you're wide awake?
just to make sure.....

when you're wide awake
are you really fast asleep?
is your dream a reality?
true life just a nightmare?

where do dreams go
when you're wide awake?

than to be crowded on a velvet cushion."

Maybe they stay in your heart...

I've often wondered that myself! Perhaps we just visit a land of dreams, and we're the ones who leave.

Sometimes meandering of thoughts can be quite beautiful when written down! I think dreams are the most interesting occurances. They are filled with so much meaning, and answers that you think you don't know.

like lines, never-ending,
constantly forming,
reforming and bending."
