When I awoke, there it was <br />A poem like a seed <br />In my mind's eye, for no one else, <br /> <br />For me, and me alone to read <br /> <br />Should I arise and write it down <br />Submit it to The World <br />Or fall asleep again, forget it, <br /> <br />Deny it, ever to be heard? <br /> <br />There's no one else to blame then <br />So, it's hardly such a sin <br />For those that ever read it <br /> <br />Will either frown, or grin <br /> <br />You see, I give it life that night <br />I allowed it to be free <br />I got up and wrote it down <br /> <br />For all the World to see...<br /><br />Colin Johnston<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/007-the-poem/
