Dreams

28 11 7
                                        

Flashing across the back of my eyelids
Blurry but clear
Into memory
Then out again
Flickers of images
From days past

Grasping for them
But they slip away like panicked minnows
Afraid to be discovered
Sorry they were seen.

I guess maybe they got tired of fleeing
Because nowadays I never dream
Spend my sleep in unbroken darkness
Eyes veiled with unspoken thoughts
But never an image
Never a whimsical picture
Never a hope of catching a dream.

I don't dream very often. Is that normal??
