Best Work Forgotten By Dawn

Can any of you relate to this ?

Sadly I feel that the greatest words I have ever thought
I have never written 
And will never be read
Because I do my best work just before bed
Right before I fall asleep 

My mind constructs works of art
That way by far out impress 
Anything that comes to mind
That I have been posting virtually blind

I wish I had a photographic memory
Or took to bed a dictaphone 
So that when I awoke
I remembered what last night my brain had said
What I was reciting in my bed 

Then at least I would know
If this was my eureka moment
Or just more crap ive been saved from posting
