THOUGHT WAVES

I lie in bed,

My mind at rest

To be swept by dreams;

I ride their crest.

While thoughts are interpreted

As answers are sought

From the day's proceedings,

Like a net their caught.

But once awake

Some dreams are lost;

Some problems are solved,

Lack of sleep the cost.

And some dreams return

To be explored again;

Some on the back burner

Waiting for their turn to begin.
