A Real Enigma

Well, here we are at the start of a brand new day Who knows what exciting new things lie just ahead Will I win the Lotto? Might have had a better chance had I purchased a ticket Will a long lost friend suddenly reappear? Not likely since he passed away a few years back Will I regain my youthful, debonaire, good looks? Did I ever have them? Dreams can be so realistic at times That when we wake, it takes us a bit of time To clear our heads and get back to reality Have you ever tried remembering a dream How frustrating is that You know it was filled with joy, laughter, and good times But can't remember it no matter how hard we try Strange but so very annoying Sure would be great to continue on where we left off The mind... a real enigma! © Jack Ellison 2014

The dreams that linger, that I can recall are the bad ones. Woke up being chased by a man eating cactus this morning. Haven't seen 'Day of The Trifids' in years. What I was thinking? Should have called Dragon in to heat their little (or big in this case) bottoms. Could have had fricacied cactus for lunch... or at least a more peaceful sleep! The marauding bikers were fun, Not friendly, but fun. They didn't like the cactus either!... Splat! Take note Dragon! It was really cool. Movie at 10... LOL

I agree, the mind is truly an enigma! I don't think we'll ever figure it out surely! However that may be so, I can figure out your wonderful poem here and I really enjoyed reading it this fine morning! What a brilliant piece that one truly is, such a grandiose poem, Great Work!!
