In my Mind\'s Eye

 

I have seen the Stars at midnight

Caught the stars at noon

Watched the Sun go down at evening

Almost colliding with the Moon

The dark clouds shield the setting Sun

Hide the Moon as well

Cascading Raindrops fall to the ground

Making a sound like a silent Bell

My eyes take in the darkened hue

The mind runs amok with thought

Of shapely figures in the shadows

Maybe doing what they aught

The shrill Wind whistles in the trees

Moaning out its woes

The Breeze continues carefully

It’s just the way it goes

Coldness rears its ugly head

Freezing all the ground

Like a solid Snow white bed

Lying all around

At eventide thoughts turn to night

Sleeping brings relief

From the cold winter feeling in sight

And the mists of disbelief

At slumber time dreams cast their spell

The minds drifts through it phase

Of things both good and bad as well

And sometimes full of praise

My dreams seem always to contain

Different worlds I travel too

The strangest ones I find a strain

Though they may be normal to you

I sleep to dream the Mermaid said

As I lay down to rest

I may live in a giant Waterbed

But sometimes I do jest

The dream I had just recently

Contained the verse above

I think about it decently

And the truth it wove

It’s strange just what the nightly waves

Can do to affect our thoughts in sleep

My mind feels as if it lives in a cave

Out of which one has to creep

Yes the mind can play huge tricks on us

Of that there is no doubt

But I will still look forward to my bed tonight

And any strange dreams that come about.
