My Own Mind

Soft pastels fade silently from the clouds
As I watch the sky above
Changing colors along with thoughts in my mind
Chaotic dreams fluttering in the warm breeze
Images drift before me
Powerful, strong and inspiring
Such beauty to behold
Fragrant petals
Crushed beneath my still body
Caress my skin
Feeling so much like the tender fingertips
I desperately crave
And below these whispering trees
I allow my emotions to wander freely
My spirit seeks comfort in the brilliant sunlight
Laying in the hidden meadow
My heart beats in time
With the melodies stroking my senses
The pleasure of letting go
Dwelling in the gentle company of nature
Reviving my very cells
Feeding the seeds of my spirit
And the wings of innocent butterflies lift me
Cleanse and heal all wounds
Leaving only purity behind
