Walking through My Mind

Missing image
A tranquil place inside my mind,
my pulse slows to a crawl
My thoughts they start meandering,
a million things that I recall

Everything passes so slowly by,
each item I can see and feel
The first thought that I ever had,
it just seem so surreal

What I did late yesterday,
what I loved when I was ten
Every memory speaks to me,
I can live it all again

It’s quiet here and so serene,
is this heaven where I now sit
No traffic jams, no babies cry,
can this really be legit

I stand upon a mountain top,
my echo calls to me
I need not even answer it,
it seems like we agree

Do I stand here is this real,
am I knocking on deaths door
Can you explain why you are here,
have I met you before

The colors they are so beautiful,
the sky and mountains meet
The grass is growing down below,
caressing both of my feet

This is a dream it must be so,
but that’s still in my mind
I thank you for the prompt my dear,
enticing me to just unwind

The words they do roll off my tongue,
and fall on parchment clean
Never picking up a pen,
your reading what I’ve seen

For deep inside the human mind,
a universe of thoughts
None will cost you money,
and none that you have bought

If you’re rich or if you’re poor,
the trick I’m sure you’ll see
I let your mind go wandering,
just let your thoughts be free

    Wow. This is amazing! A wonderful take on the picture! I loved every bit of this poem. Very deep, and touching. I loved the vivid images it brought to mind.

    "The colors they are so beautiful,
