In an afternoon dream,
something sparked an idea
in my mind,
but in waking from sleep
I couldn't save the thought,
though I listened intently
to the corner of my heart
where it died.

Author's Note
Wrote this pretty early in my attempts at poetry writing, but I think it turned out alright. I imagine lots of writers and artists can relate to the feeling of forgetting a story or idea that one had before having a chance to record it, and lots of people in general may relate to the feeling of wanting to remember a dream but not quite having the ability.
All writing remains the property of the author. Don't use it for any purpose without their permission.

skilfully captured.
yes, echo the incident and the experience!
in my drafts here is a similar story, my attempt at conveying the incidents of losses
and the times i managed to grasp one just before it slipped!!
well saved! (almost) ;-)
