Drift Away

Have you ever closed your eyes and find yourself drifting away? Not really knowing where you are going but knowing all is okay. Well the older I get seems the more I relish the chance, To just drift away and dance and dance. To my own little world where I play the lead, No matter what I attempt I always succeed. Not one cross word is uttered while I’m visiting here, This place is like heaven so crystal clear. If you were to paint a picture that’s filled with joy, This would be the setting I’d choose to employ. Whatever I choose it comes into play, No I’m not eating my crayolas and yes I am okay. I wish these people would just leave me alone, At least they should bow down when I sit upon my throne. I should get up and leave but I’ve lost my key, And even when I do they always seem to find me.

Ah, how we relish those moments of peace. Drifting away is like mini vacation. I can so relate to this. Enjoyed this - and good luck! : ) Love, Shar
