Day Dreams

When my mind wandered, like a river wild.
Down mountains steep, and rivers wide.
I tried to hold back the tide, but it overtook me.
Sweeping me away, in a torrent of thoughts and emotions.

Hope like driftwood upon the raging sea.
Dreams the very waves which threatened me.
No boats to see, no land to be found.
I clung to life for fear I’d drown.

Then eyelids like clouds gave way to the sun.
And a thunderous yawn, brings eyes every one.
To me on the coach, who for a moment was gone.
But worry not friends I’m awake party on.
