And Then There Was A Dream

And then there was a dream

Little crumpled at the corners

Little faded at the seams

Straining at the hems

Tattered and frayed and shrimped

I thought I’d wrap it up

Under my pillow

But it poked me night after night

And chased me in my sleep

Till I lost my patience

And tossed it to the wind

Never again to be seen

And then there was a dream…
