The Night Shift Of The Mind Poem by Ina SchrodersZeeders

All that we see in dreams is gone
the moment we awake
The night shift of the mind is done

When we dream, reality is none
and wide awake, forgotten is the dream
But for one moment it may just hang on

The colours of the nightmare fade
The fear we had is put in reassuring words
But there is no sense to be made

Deformed segments linger on
Though what was dreamt, forever is forsaken
And no more use to the awaken
All that we saw in dreams is gone
The nightshift of the mind is done
