Inner Mind

Images of flowers

Of frolicking bunnies

Of rainbows and clouds

Trickle through my mind

Soft breezes gently move

The blades of grass

In that flowered meadow

That dwells in my mind

Bask in the warming sun

Revel in the gentle silence

Banish the black cloud

Pretend I can prevent

The sun is covered

By the slow moving clouds

Happy colors fade

To a range of blacks and greys

The things my brain comes up with

In the dark recesses of the night

Would frighten many a child

And terrify even the strongest man

There is a house built here

On the hill surrounded

By deep black water

By bright dancing flames

The house is frequented often

To see it is far from inviting

The irresistible pull is unbreakable

And I find myself here again
