Lost [in a Good Book]

By Alex Baranda

My mind wanders off into the distance
To faraway places I do not know
Where wizards roam and the knights slay dragons
But I always find a way back to you

My mind roams into outer space beyond
To some distant planets with strange creatures
Where primeval men rule in worlds long gone 
But I always come home from adventures 

My mind travels into the deepest sea
To somewhere I do not yet recognize 
Where mermaids and giant sea horses play 
But I always return I realize 

My mind wanders off and gets lost awhile
But I always come back to see your smile
