I Created a Poem
I created a poem last night in my sleep
can’t remember the words right now
It was a true masterpiece, powerful and deep
that brought peace to the world somehow
But now that the morning sunshine has filled my eyes
and washed away that perfect rhyme
There’s nothing left for me now but to hope and pray
that I’ll write it again sometime
It’s like that tree in Brazil filled with red spiders
whose web held the cure for cancer
But they were all killed from destroying the forest
we forever lost that answer
Maybe that was just a dream too, I don’t recall
So forget about what I said
There’re so many thoughts rolling around in my mind
It’s hard to keep them straight in my head
