My eyes popped open
Lines of ramblings were rattling tro my head
I ejected myself from the bed
Hoping on paper to pen them before they dissapate
But passing from the bedroom to the kitchen
I stopped to pick up some papers
Watered a thirsty lookin plant
Pinched off some spent flowers and removed some dried leaves
Took a whiff of the aroma coming from the bread machine
Made myself some tea
Slapped some yogurt
On my prepared fruit bowl
Came to sit down by the computer
And found my head was emptied of those words
That had rattled in my head
That had woken me up
That had wanted to be heard
Shockin' to find that my memory can be that short!!
Oh well maybe they'll come again
But now I can't go back to slumber sweet.....
