There is a song on the wind
and I cannot sleep
my thoughts run free tonight.

In my mind I see countless things
shaped by notes in the air
but what they are I cannot write.

Some are terribly beautiful to be shown
others are awesomely elegant
will anyone ever be able to see...

I drift through the endless worlds
all locked inside of me
maybe my hand will set them free...

They beg to be let out for all to see
but I am not ready yet
so through memory's cracks they seep.

I can feel them wailing as they disappear
but nothing can be done
I was too slow, my mind is blank,
and I cannot sleep.
Dang. I wish I didn't need to sleep. Every night my mind tells me something about it is wrong... if only I could catch what that is...

So, I listen to music every night. While I'm wide awake, I harvest it for creativity. Then, I switch over and use it to help drive thoughts from my mind so I can get to sleep.

Some nights the emptiness afterwards doesn't just echo, it resonates, and all I can do is think and imagine until it is spent, which always hapens much too quickly. Every night has a different note, never the same.

This was one thing I captured, as are all my drawings and other poems.

I can't remember having dreams at all for many years... I consider this a good compromise :sleep:
