My mind is not at rest.
It is encumbered and entombed with:
signs and symbols,
numbers and variables.
These values cause my mind to shrink.
With a shrunken mind, I can no longer see
the rolling landscapes,
the life-empowered trees,
the magnificent mountains,
the endless oceans and flowing rivers,
the birds and bears that live throughout
the peaceful land
that my mind can find serenity in.
*Another poem created by of my lack of sleep but this time with the addition of physics homework.
We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
