Editor's notebook
Fancy that, I have woken up again, Another beginning in life to claim, I did go to bed the night before, And on life and its doing, shut the door, To open up then another up wide, In that of dreamland not to hide, Sleep was a corner then around, In this make-believe world, myself, I found, People were there from days gone by, This magic of knowing I cannot deny, My mind in its thinking was all alert, While in this of night time I did flirt, I know my head could not take it all in, But morning, remembrance of it, to me did bring, So awake I was from that slumber deep, Another vigil in the earth to keep, Until again having to go to bed, Where, in comfort, to lay down my sleepy head.
