~I sleep So I Can Dream~

 


I will wake up one morning lying in the sand,

tasting the salt on my lips from the ocean,

pencil still in my hand,

from writing my poetry in the sand

 

My words will be scribbled in the earth,

and only the sky will read them

 

A wave will come and wash the poetry away, but…

the words will not be lost because,

in my mind they will have stayed

 

One day with my book in hand,

I will lie there in the sand basking in the sun.

 

The world will know that…

I will write, I will write, I will write.

The world will know me

You had me!

Exquisitely put, until the last stanza, oh believe me i understand the assertion, but it ends up a plea, a whimper, maybe meant so, I feel that too. cheers, Jess
