all in my mind





hazy memories of lives gone past

quiet pools of solitude to hide in


fervent prayers for continued bliss

open arms that embrace the world


unknown faces that crowd a window

a baby's cry shatters the calm


gliding images that escape from blackness

the ocean continues in a silent way


all in my mind...

all in my mind...

all in my mind...


today
