Only In My Mind
By Rose E Martin

Then I have none.
Alone in my thoughts,
I hear only in my mind.

My mind wanders too far off places,
Taking me to windswept beaches in time.
Hearing the waves, seeing the gulls.
Just me and my thoughts
I hear only in my mind.

I travel the mountain paths,
Tasting the dew on the ferns, how sweet.
Just me and my thoughts
I hear only in my mind.

Reality is back and here I sit
Looking through that minute window of time
Realizing yesterday is gone forever
And tomorrow may never come.

With just me and my thoughts
I hear only in my mind.
