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.
