When the mind goes
about shutting
The doors left
Open by the careless heart,
Life muffles down
In the fog of memories
Comforted by the humdrum
Freed from the need to react
But it isn’t long
Before the heart awakens,
Looks around, and decides to teach
The mind a lesson
By opening a few windows
To let in the breeze
That will eventually
Knock open a few doors too.
