Lay down my mind
by Joelle Wilson
August 25, 2011
I need to go where the lilies float and
lay down my mind for a while.
I need to sleep without dreaming and
lay down my mind for a while.
I need to walk beside the ocean and let Her calm fill in the restless
holes in my self.
I need to run across the desert just to hear
the coyotes howling at me.
I want to lie down for a while where the lilies float and dream
my thoughts into the water.
I want to dream my eyes awake again and see
the world as it lives.
I want to walk across the moonlit fields and feed my
spirit in the wild.
I wan to run through the ever shifting landscape
of my hopes and wishes just to see if I can reach them.
I want to lay my mind down for a while
I need to lay my mind down for a while.
