Slow Motion Milky Way...

sometimes I just climb into 
my mind's hollow tree home
where pointless worries 
are not so overgrown

and poetic words bloom 
in a verbal tree orchard 
and those without a lover's lullaby 
are no longer tortured

where unanswered questions
can easily be contemplated
and the swirling milky way time 
is no longer accelerated

I love those opening lines...."climbing into my mind's hollow tree home" ....we all need to escape our worries....and find that place...(sometimes it is a hard climb, however)... Nicely done, Luke!!!
