In Search of Dreams

Late at night 
I cast nets over my memories 
Pulling in old dreams 
To help pass away my sleeplessness 
Occasionally 
I watch a searching beacon 
From the old northern lighthouse 
Pick and probe 
Through the waves of a blackened sea 
Waiting for that returning ship 
Laden with riches 
Bound for market 
With tales of giants and foreign lands 
At times 
I have become that lighthouse 
Waiting and searching for you 
To come home 
That I might sleep 
So I might dream
