Analysis of Daydreams
Do you ever wonder where daydreams go
They seem to vanish in the daylight glow
Perhaps to die in the conscious flow
Or, do they strive to somehow grow
Maybe they’re only sleeping on the wind
To reappear in a future nocturnal tale
Caught and twisted in some nightmarish gin
To frighten you beyond the pale.
But on a warm summer day
When all such thoughts are evanescent
With an airiness so light and gay
They’re often filled with lovely sentiment
This is something so serene
You marvel at its magic
You are moved to ecstasy
It’s seldom very tragic
There’s something about a daydream
That’s different from a dream
You can shape it to your scheme
You can alter its varied stream
But often in the dark
You are captive to the plight
Sometimes murky sometimes stark
A dream is always far from light
So you know where daydreams go
They escape into the dusky glow
They morph in subconscious flow
Where they survive and grow
