Last Night I Dreamt

Last night I dreamt, a picture my only inspiration
How the world has changed in the passing of years
The memory even now can lead to temptation

I pass now through my own trial and tribulation
All these things leave me with a multitude of fears
Last night I dreamt, a picture my only inspiration

So vivid and so distinct I could feel the sensation
A happiness that could almost bring me to tears
The memory even now can lead to temptation

I have learned through experience and trepidation
Of the ideal of a person and how then it endears
Last night I dreamt, a picture my only inspiration

Abstraction ultimately needs some cultivation
The congregation of people and their peers
The memory even now can lead to temptation

Everything said right now I still live in jubilation
Enjoying every aspect of the moment jars and jeers
Last night I dreamt, a picture my only inspiration
The memory even now can lead to temptation
