Inside My Mind

I close my eyes and always know
just where it is I want to go
a place that no one else can see
starts flowing gently over me
and in my mind its form takes shape
this place into which I escape

With rolling hills of soft, long grass
my fingers kiss as I walk past
a mighty oak perched on hilltop
a fitting place I always stop
with bare toes curled in soft, cool grass
I look out on a lake of glass

While softened wind does carry by
the smell of earth and clear, crisp sky
I hear the chirps and calls of fowls
the mighty question of the owls
and bustling squirrels start giving chase
they're in and out of every place

While a brook goes babbling by
I feel no need to question why
and through this din I still find peace
my worries fade and all thoughts cease
a place where life is not unkind
this favorite place inside my mind

such a wonderful piece. I loved reading this, it reminds me of the way I feel inside myself - and it feels good to relate to someone in that way.
