built to understand

and I do tend to wonder
where the thoughts come from
it is I putting pen to page
but what puts the thoughts
in my mind to write
do I receive them right
to write or do I save them
for viewing later
in dreams dreaming quite
seldom if at all
last night found me at a casino
seemed as if I couldn't lose
but I don't remember gambling at all
a few friends and many strangers
or people I haven't met yet
in reality once reality brings sun
through slit shades
still tend to wonder where
all the dreams originate
is there something else
going on that we aren't
trained to see or built
to understand but it's my choice
to wonder or am I
merely picking up
where someone else left off...
