Dreamers fight for one night
to live within there dreams
Daring the ghosts
to float near them

For one night the dreams
are of love lived
passionately

Realizing it's what hearts
desire as dreamers
live as us

Daring as it may seem
to fight so willingly
for what comes
so naturally

Where is my dreamer
where is the ghost
of passion
I wish to dare
to float here
near me

Come as you are
come be my dreamer
come see me

The poet crew were getting error notes
As their captain slumbered below deck
No aiding was forthcoming in the wreck
Their many calls unheard by his ear totes
Prays said for the server to be righted
For some while it had been out of kilter
And not one post could go through the filter
Like forever they'd be badly blighted
A rapid fire response oh where was that?
Verse writers invoked this very refrain
Ever their words unseen on the site's log
Forsaken by a skipper sleeping flat
They felt so alone without rescue's wain
Drifting as if mired in a thick fog
