The Meanderings of my Mind

Lauren Phillips-Freeman

--

Let me tell you a secret: I’m not really here,
it’s just an illusion I’ve perfected,
I may appear to be sitting in meetings,
attending morning briefings,
playing the consummate professional,
but my mind has borne me far away,
through time and space and turning pages
to a kingdom of my choosing,
delivering me into the company
of those whose stories set me aflame.
