Day Dream

I have a mind that wanders;
It goes most anywhere.
And as it travels far and wide,
Into the sky I stare.

In my flights of fancy,
I don't need anything.
I can take off from the Earth,
And to the sky take wing.

I soar above the topmost clouds,
And venture into space.
I drink in the Milky Way,
As past the moon I race.

I leave our Solar System,
Our galaxy, our--sheesh!
My mind can get so far away,
When I let it slip the leash.
