Lost in my mind

My first walk on the beach this year. The weather was beautiful. I don't often take my camera to the beach, but this time I did.

Every now and then I take a stab at writing prose/poetry. I'm still in training pants, but I need to take risks and share my creative adventures....I don't have to be perfect. After my beach walk yesterday, I went home and wrote this one.

Lost in my Mind

I stepped away from my heart

Traveling further into my mind   

Although there’s only inches between

The journey takes me far away

I’ve wandered off the path again

 Losing myself to my thoughts
Replaying the old stories
And making up new ones

My mind looks for gratification

 Seeking happiness outwardly

I look for myself in others

Forgetting who I really am

The journey back is not an easy one

So I must be still

Surrender

Pray, breathe, trust…

*****

Unless you start doing something different,

you are in for more of the same.
