If You Know What I Mean

I had this crazy dream It's the one that keeps you interested If your me, you'll know what I mean To ignore your self resisted So deep in slumber I went On this night of required sleep It's the snooze we always dream of Into dreams of abyss deep Through pages of looming clouds As they fluttered in dreamy breeze Many words I could see in my reach Like winter leaves, on crying trees Enticing in dream like flow My two eyes can't be everywhere I'm like a Rabbit caught in dreams headlights In slow motion action I stare Scattered yesterdays are all around When I grasp they crumble to dust Past words in anagram free My steel beams now reduced to rust In drift I try to imagine Day to day life without the soup It's a sentence I Just can't comprehend Once tall and proud, I'm painful in daily stoop
