I Dream Myself to Sleep – Written Sunday 26th April 2015 (Aged 40)

I Dream Myself to Sleep


i look in the mirror
i dream myself to sleep
i keep hold of my memories
i wonder what it means –
for married friends –
with children
and so many things
i look back at places –
by the estuary
and i think,
just give me a chance
i look hard at people
and i wonder what drives them –
to be so selfish
and live without regard
i dream myself to sleep
and then we fly away
painting this sky




James Garratt – Sunday 26th April 2015
