Dreamer

What say you dreamer

Did you wake up one day

And find you could never return to bed

Never rem

Or remember

No remnants of dreams from yester-whenever

Did insomnia consume your mind

As you watched each ticking minute

Realizing,

You haven’t felt alive

Since the last time you were asleep

Did you lay out grape sized hopes

Begging the fruit to do what it does and multiply

But Langston warned you

He warned you

That raisin bits will haunt you

Dried and crusted

And do your dreams feel stale

Like your soul has arthritis

And you’ve stiffened in this moment 

Wishing for that lull,

That soft drift

To dreamland

Rest up beloved

Rest

You don’t know

But I know

You’ve been sleep walking this whole time.

Training,

To dream

Dream girl 

You’re a dreamgirl.
