My Happy Thoughts

I lay here with my eyes closed, Waiting patiently at the station Trying to board the train That will take me off to rest, But my mind keeps drifting To my two happy thoughts One lay next to me The other in his own room, I remember all the laughs The way he smiled in his silly way The sight of them together Boarding the train before me Then staggering groggily up the stairs To catch their connections And I think, as I hear my train arriving, How can I not rest comfortably With two such happy thoughts Then my eyes snap open As my train speeds through the station I think of his illnesses, and hers, I think of the many possibilities Lying in front of them I shudder at the possible consequences If I make the wrong decisions I look over for a moment, Then back to the thoughts in my head, Just when I wonder why I impose such stress on myself, I remember the smiles As they lay together On this evenings early train And it is all worth it. Then as my train rolls to a stop And I begin to board, the door closes On my last thought of the night It is amazing how much sleep I loose Thinking about my happy thoughts

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
