I Caught Myself

By Bruce Clifford

I caught myself wandering in a daydream
I caught myself in the middle of my dream
I caught myself in the realm of wishing thinking
I caught myself in a panic of extremes


I caught myself in some silent recognition
I caught myself with the sentimental plight
I caught myself in the heart of deep transition
I caught myself on a supersonic flight


Count to seven
Stay the course
Read the message
Whatever for


I caught myself in the middle of a daydream
I caught myself on the wire and the tide
I caught myself on the edge of fear and linking
I caught myself in the phase of empty pride


I caught myself in the darkness of the shadows
I caught myself when the moment did arrive
I caught myself when the thoughts of all of this narrows
I caught myself when this message did arrive


Count to seven
Stay the course
Read the message
Whatever for


I caught myself
I caught myself
Whatever else
I caught myself
