as I watch the sun fade away
behind the palm trees
that line up on the sea shore
I begin to take stock and prepare to leave;
opening up my bag,
with a view to clear the excess baggage,
I find all I have is words andthat does not seem to be enough!
a gentle breeze blows softly
ruffling a few leaves andspreading a peaceful feeling
that I never knew before!
clutching a pencil in hand,
plenty of thoughts,plenty of ideas,
I’ve got so much to say
;words unspoken, lurk around
like hungry wolves,
ready to devour the soul
the moment I give in!
sitting here, I watch the people
play games that I don’t understand
;games that don’t mean a thing
yet I stand in their midst
; alone with memories of what, once was
,searching for reasons,
to why and because
I search for a reason and a purpose
to keep going on for more!
as the night falls and the stars come out,
I close my eyes and climb into my starship
to go to a faraway land, leaving everything else behind,
where I am safe, till morning light, filters in flying higher than the stars,
I close my eyes
and in this psychedelic mind space,
weave many a dreamsto write the chapters of my life!
