The world in the back of my mind has a night and day
Passed by the sun was a blue jay
Soon the moon glooms over
And the blue jay leading, sped forward
To the light that has hidden
Inside the feathers forbidden
The Phoenix revealed
The light appealed
Made day again
So I know my mind is at zen
There’s a river that flows
It appears when I doze
It’s only there on good days
When my thoughts aren’t filled with haze
When they are nice and calm
And they haven’t been bombed
Though that flow can change in an instant
And could make me very distant
I listen to the melodies in my head
And they calm the riverbeds
So the tides aren’t high
And the waves haven’t dried
So I can smile to my friends
And be happy again
The clouds are purple and pink
They match what I think
My thoughts are usually bright
and contour out the night
But the clouds are sometimes blue
It depends on my mood
Because they can become very dark
As quick as a light of a spark
That spark burns bright
And brings light back into the night
So my mind is beaming once more
And I don’t have to worry about a storm
The world in the back of my mind has a night and day
It’s a joyful world but sometimes that joy goes away
Sometimes night comes by
And the day waves goodbye
But the light always comes back
So I never feel like I lack
The happiness in my life that I need
To show how happy I can truly be
With my heart heavy in my mind
And my thoughts not going blind
The day is welcomed again
And I wave hi to my old friend
