Ars Poetica Valentine, for Daniel

In my dreams last night
An important line was spoken
I repeated it several times
Trying to imprint it
On whatever memory 
I could salvage there
Drifting from scene to scene
Hoping to bring it back
With me when I woke up
But it was all of three hours later
Before I remembered that dream
Hearing and speaking those words
That might have saved my life
If I had only written them down
