My Mind
Though I lay here in my bed
As the moon is rising higher
My thoughts spin in my head
And my mind goes out to wander
I’m not sure where it goes
What it plans to do or see
When the night falls dark
And the trees hover over my balcony.
Does it go to different countries?
Is it living a different life?
Did it somehow learn a life lesson?
Will it come back to tell me its strife?
Sometimes it seems so far away
I don’t know what I’d do without it
So when the night turns into day
I’ll admit I’m pretty happy about it.
Because no matter all the adventures
My mind takes in the night
It never outdoes the adventure
That I call this here Life.
