Somewhere in the background
Melancholy sounds fill the room
My mind wanders
Through mist and gloom

I walk to places I haven’t been before
Taking in the new sights and surroundings
Whether by light of day or dark of night
Trying to make sense of my musings

I meet many people who are occupied
In their own thoughts, or to make ends meet
Everyone seems happy and contented
I greet them with good wishes and wonder

The music has come to a stop
I have found my way back to where I started from
I have not found a solution to whatever I was thinking about
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll find an answer that I can’t live without.
