the sleeping muse

[spaceboy_g]

at night they come and steal my dreams and turn them into words
they take my thoughts and write them down no matter how absurd
these people, places, times forgotten for everyone but me
they make them into moving pictures for all the rest to see
I dare not sleep for fear of losing all that I hold dear
I dare not sleep for fear of telling all the world my fears
I dare not sleep for fear of giving all of you these clues
so you may come and find me, I am the sleeping muse
