In My Mind Poem by Charl JF Cilliers

In My Mind



In my mind I
walked down to the sea
where, against the sky,
a bird sang in a tree

its song a golden filigree
of notes without words
to bring meaning to me.

Just the song of a bird
in a solitary tree
in my mind that I heard
as I walked down to the sea.
