Wonders Of The Mind

In the dark abyss of my mind

Twisted and contorted thoughts you may find

Or brilliant sunshine, laughter and ease

Sun-scorched petals dancing and twisting in the breeze

 

A silent theatre where I can hide

No one will ever know what I see

For if one was to infiltrate the deep crevices of where I confide

There would be no recovery for me

 

Thoughts litter in a jumbled way

It seems like I have little control

They often wander and stray

These amblings of thought take a hefty toll

 

Negativity corrupts and destroys

The beautiful garden Eden of my mind

Planting seeds of doubt, a reality decoy

To try make me stray from my path, that which I must find

 

To rather plant luscious seeds of hope and joy

And nurture and care for them

Will serve to one day grow a garden Eden to enjoy

And make all my wishes grow and stem

 

For all the things you picture and see

In your minds eye

And vividly imagine them to be

Appear before you, so reach for the sky

 

For in the final hours of one’s life

It’s not the things that you did that you regret

It’s the paths you took that weren’t in your life’s strife

If you follow what you love you’ll have a life no one will ever forget

 

So find what means the most for you and seek it out

Search, find and never ever pause

For to whoever can open their minds to dreams but not only dream about

The world is and all in it is yours....
