CHAOS

Too many people in my dream last night
I lost all track of what they came to view
I welcome eagerly the morning's light.

No one apparently had any right
To make decisions based on feeble clues
Too many people in my dream last night.

Now that I have them gathered in my sight,
Perhaps, I'll give a penetrating cue
I welcome eagerly the morning's light.

At least among themselves they do not fight
Except for just a discontented few
Too many people in my dream last night.

I watch suspensefully in fear and fright
Searching the dark for things that I could do
I welcome eagerly the morning's light.

New dawn arrives and brings to me insight
There's no need now for me to follow through.
Too many people in my dream last night.
I welcome eagerly the morning's light.
