Jeff Burkhart’s “Rhyme and Reason”: My Daydream

August 19, 2018 by Jeff Burkhart Leave a Comment

I feel a daydream coming on, my mind is free to wander
It’s just my way of killing time, and lets me think and ponder

I’m not constrained by Earthly bonds, or by geography
Each dream’s unique and lets me peek, in my psychology

In some I rule the whole wide world, in others I’m alone
There’s one in which I talk to God, upon my new iPhone

You might say “Snap out of it!”, “Wake up and get re-grounded!”
The rumors of insanity, are patently unfounded

My daydreams keep me company, don’t worry I’ll be fine
If you share your dream with me, I’ll let you into mine
