A night's thought

one night as i lay sound asleep

a thought into my mind did creep

if sleep were waking and i was making

a life this instant as dreams slid

under the flickering of my eyelid

what then could be created from thought

it is an idea in which I was caught

long lost ground or lands not yet found

in which i might walk in peace self made

and from that quiet path not be swayed

in dreams I was woken, as waking was near
