Unremembered dreams

So I have this week completely off work to study, and it's reminding me strangely (or perhaps not surprisingly) of those good old days of stuvac, when I would write songs or poetry to procrastinate from studying and as an outlet for my angst (while my creative side has been rather neglected recently, I'm glad that the days of angst are over). So I've been compiling a list of all the compositions I've done over the past years; they're scattered all over several notebooks, sheets of scrap paper, this blog and on files on my computer....along with many other "thought scribbles" and unfinished works, half-written lyrics without music....and I came across this on a word document on my computer, which I don't remember writing (so therefore must have been previously unpublished on this blog!) It's dated 21st May, 2006...how interesting to find snapshots of moments in one's past...


Unremembered dreams

Sometimes the moment passes by
And is lost forever
No second opportunity
For those bound by time

To think that moment could be like a thousand years to You

Sometimes you wake up
And in a fleeting moment
You remember what you dreamt last night
Sometimes it’s just the next day
Either way it’s soon forgotten

Do You know me while I’m sleeping?
I don’t know myself
While my eyes and mind are blind
In the darkness of night
Can I still find the light in You?

So wake me up
At the right time
Or I’ll be lost forever
Within the realm of unremembered dreams

Why don’t I feel You now
Am I all alone?
I don’t want to fall asleep while I don’t know You

So can you heal me now
I’ve just been waiting on my own
And I’ve been foolishly evading Your amazing grace
