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

Hi Dave, I just found your response here in my Spam file. (I rarely check it.) Sorry I am getting back to you late. I appreciate your comments. Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
