A Penny For Your Thoughts

The dreams inside my heart are never ending. I find some comfort in the people I’m befriending. I look all around to find a solution. Maybe I’m just part of human evolution? I think there is something locked inside the dream, It just seems to flow, much like a rushing stream. As the water passes by, I peek around the bend, When I view before me, my heart begins to mend. I can’t always wrap my mind around this, Moments of despair, wrapped inside of bliss. Sometimes they create balance inside of me, Opening my eyes, so I am able to see. Some I get while some I don’t understand. Sometimes like a stranger from a far off land. I gather up the pieces, hoping they will fit. The answers are illusive on this bank I sit. I watch as the water washes ashore, I see in my heart I desire some more. The ripples are like changes, sparkling with light, Reminds me of the stars that appear every night. I think I see something through the corner of my eye, Perhaps it is the life that simply passed me by? I seem to wonder often where the time just went, A penny for your thoughts, For I only have a cent.
