Book 6 Page 6

Run away day dream train

Some thoughts are like a run away train.

Like the thoughts of a day dream that wonders and stray.

And when that train returns after leaving you in a haze,

you learn of it’s adventures, when you were in a daze.

You learn of where your thoughts have been,

as if they were the thoughts of someone else it seems.

And you feel somewhat betrayed in that

you were not fully conscious, on this run away train.

And so you begin to reflect on the workings of the mind and of time.

And the intricate workings of the brain and that run away, day dream train.

 All aboard for a thought
