From Dreams To Reality When Shall Both Worlds Meet
I go to bed at night
Close my eyes
Within minutes I can guarantee
I am sound asleep
I am a great sleeper
There is one exception to the rule
When I don't feel good
I begin to toss and turn
That's when I know something is wrong
My body is trying to tell me something
All it's energy is being used to correct the problem
In the beginning I am mad
I want to go to sleep and I can't
I get up and try to make myself tired
As I open my laptop and struggle
It is at that moment I feel deep emotion
I think of so many other people that can't sleep
They have this problem on a regular basis
There reason may be a medical one
A back issue where they can't get comfortable
A sleep disorder where their own body fights itself
Their own mind won't shut off
There are too many thoughts
Constantly running through their head
So for this brief moment in time
I feel there pain
Today was about how to transfer
What's going on in my dream state
To my awake state
I lay in bed and thought this incredible thought
One that I felt I would never forget
It was so vivid and clear
I knew it would be a good story to tell
As Charlotte our cat
Disturbed me from this dream I was having
I knew it was time to get up
Put it on the computer
While it was still fresh in my mind
I made the fatal mistake
Of not writing a few thoughts of this idea
One or two prompt words
That could easily bring me back this very second
Something to trigger this important story that I feel
By the time I got my bathrobe
Through on some booty slippers
I turned the kitchen light on
Typed my password into my laptop
The thought was gone
All those amazing thoughts disappeared
I can't think of what I was thinking
So as I write about this experience
I am sitting here perplexed
Still hopeful something might jog my mind
Waiting for any quick thought to show itself
One ah-ha moment
It has been almost an hour now
I am going to give my mind a break
This was not the story I was suppose to write
I still feel good
These thoughts I am thinking
Are brought in the open
From my creative mind
To deep to be clearly understood
Not a waste of time
Off my chest and put to rest

I know there are many places in the US I still want to see but my top priority is to see my hometown NYC at least one more time. Just don't think I will have the finances for that. I do have a vision of me with my cat Sid under my arm wandering the US stopping at fish stores and diners where I can offer my help for a bit and then moving on. Must be the writer in me.
