Sometimes I wish my mind had a switch

so I could turn it off for a while.

You know, kind of like a light switch –

Click and it’s on when I’m ready to get my day started –

and when I’m ready to sleep – click again and  it’s off.

Now, just roll over and let slumber take me under.

How much easier that would be.

But, then I’d miss those vivid dreams that

Dance through my mind – whirling and swirling –

Dipping and diving – taking me anywhere and everywhere

While my spirit soars and wheels from place to place.

Maybe this restless mind knows best.
