Listen to poem:

Lights and Numbers

Lights & Numbers
David J Walker

When he said
Think ahead
I think he was 
Thinking of numbers

What I heard
(Silly nerd)
Was seamless dreams
In vivid colors of
Visions in
Slumbers

As the night 
	Lumbers 
alone
Into 
	Tomorrow
Morning

When numbers are 
Subtracted from
The meaning of dreams

And the deep sleep of
dreams is over

It's a great philosophy in a simple poetical form with lights and numbers as focus points. Great!

Thank you, Christuraj. My head is full of dreams devoid of numbers.
