Where Drifts My Mind

Far away, where drifts my mind
                      I find the sun’s forever glow
Cradled by the turquoise breeze
                O’er the tides that ebb and flow

In this place that I admire 
                          Love is all there is to see
Sands of pink and palms that wave
                     Gently send their love to me

Far away, where lives my mind  
                           Loneliness is not a word
Solitude may be on call
                           Guided by an island bird

Yet, I stay to pass the time
                   Waiting still while we’re apart
Thinking of your safe return from
                 Far away, where lives my heart
