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.
