My Inner Sanctum

In my mind I have a place Somewhere peaceful and serene Where I escape life's hectic pace, Where no-one else has ever been. I imagine a desert island Surrounded by a sapphire sea, With palm trees, and fine white sand An oasis there, just for me. I paddle in the crystal water, As I explore the coral reef. I marvel at exotic creatures, As they swim and dart about beneath. I walk along a secluded beach Where gentle waves caress the sand. Alone in my private haven Escaping, to my minds island. A beautiful place to spend some time This little bolthole in my mind. My contemplative holiday, My inner sanctum, where I unwind.
