When I awoke, there it was
A poem like a seed
In my mind's eye, for no one else,
For me, and me alone to read
Should I arise and write it down
Submit it to The World
Or fall asleep again, forget it,
Deny it, ever to be heard?
There's no one else to blame then
So, it's hardly such a sin
For those that ever read it
Will either frown, or grin
You see, I give it life that night
I allowed it to be free
I got up and wrote it down
For all the World to see...
