Something To Think About

sometimes I let my mind wander
just looking for something
utterly crazy to ponder
so my imagination can sing
      sometimes I dream of another life
      just trade all this in
      for some other strife
      then let a new dream begin
sometimes I wanna run away
to some far off majestic land
where music never ceases to play
and no one makes a demand
      every once in awhile
      it's nice to play pretend
      when I need to smile
      and reality needs to bend

Nice one Christy. Yes, so important to have imagination, creativity and a mental escape as well from challenges of life. To rest, to enjoy. Well done.

I can relate to this, Christy, and I love that last line about reality needing to bend. Good work! Love, Kim
