I asked a question in my sleep, and in my sleep I saw

the answer to my question flow and watched in utter awe

the words that came to answer me were ordered and distinct

and yet somehow my eyes would strain to read the inkless print

then right before my eyes I saw the words again take flight

and neither read nor understood, they still were quite a sight.
