Notes About The Poem

Mind-Travelin'

Some lackadaisical days,
I sit peacefully still 
in a trancelike state,
embarking on a spectacular, 
unreal adventure
to an imaginary somewhere
far removed from 
the present. My mind free as a bird
as I navigate through the hazy
and shadowy corridors 
of the terra incognita, arriving 
at a dreamlike no man's land;
an untouched, ethereal place 
of wonder fit for a king!
Could this be heaven?
I'm meditating,
but it feels like I'm in 
a surreal dream!
