I Feel Lucky

I Feel Lucky by Jack Barnes

There is always the place

Where my thoughts rarely probe

In the back of my mind

In this place

I file ideas

To be turned over in time

There they float lazily about 

Like fluffy clouds 

In a bright morning sky

Then when all is relaxed

Just before I slip into dreams

I return to that place

My covers around me

The thoughts spill

Into my sleepy mind

As I lie there

The world is dark

But my mind is bright

Lazily thinking

I remember the memory

From two years ago

When I was ignorant

To the luck I beheld

The fortune that landed me here

A tear rolls down my smiling face

And between my lips

The salty taste of a past memory

Of when I did not know

I was the lucky one

Who is here and now

On a nice sturdy boat

In a little French town

After sailing round the world
