Thought

by Cheryl Johnston

An echo of a voice saying my name
Rock music playing in the background
I'm reading a book but I don't understand
Because I'm lost in a world of thought

Universes created and destroyed
Wonderful places to get lost in
Dreams of a better, happier life
And hopes for the future…

My eyes are open but I'm not seeing
The troubles of today just slip away
Don't think I'll be coming back soon
Because I'm lost in a world of thought
