Written in a dream

I dreamt
that I read a poem
about the waves

But now that I've awoke
I can't seem to remember
how the words fit so smoothly
together.

I recall not speaking loudly enough
for all to hear my voice
and that tears came quietly at the end
although I tried to restrain myself.

Oh, if only I could have fallen asleep
with a pen in my hand
then I could give you a poem
about the waves
that I wrote in my dreams.
