In Another Mind
In another frame of mind on the horizon built of art
Stationed on the high plateau still rising with the sun
In a cedar home, cathedral ceilings incomplete of features
Massive crystal windows installed to take advantage of the light
Modern art mixed with ancient masters hang themselves
On plastered walls not quite ready for a conversation
As the mind goes deeper into contemplation of the sight
Thoughts about it all stretch out in pastel ingenuity
Overlooking all this excitement
The endless ocean with rogue waves steps in the mix
Fifty foot high rolling monsters crash over to oblivion
Crash against the rocks below the home under construction
Diving back into themselves on tides as if they were alive
Controlled by no one with the wind as they collide
Sun light is the only witness and perhaps the little man
Inside the house, inside his mind, as pretty as a picture
With nothing else
