Gone
Jennifer
Dix
The
space between
Full consciousness
And deep sleep
Foggy, then alert
Images spiral
Creativity peaks
At inopportune times
Ideas appear at night
Only to disappear
In the morning
In a semi lucid state
The mind flows
Much more freely
Making me wish
For a device
To transcribe dreams
And record thoughts
As they happen
Before I forget them
In the morning
