Somewhere Else Poem by Alan Bruce Thompson

Even though I'm sitting here, just looking at the sea,
My mind is actually somewhere else, where it wants to be.

Although there are roses everywhere and orchids fill the sky,
My eyes are looking for my love and I don't know why,
She is sitting somewhere else, for the by and by.

Ah, there she is, on the other shore,
But really I can't see that far.

For she is miles away, where I cannot see,
My mind brings her here next to me.
