The Dark Mind

The dark and idle mind lingers around looking for dangerous things to do but darkness surrounds it. The thought of drugs and the essence of sex fill up most of the day’s thoughts. The thoughts are illogical, lost, but exultant, Mysteriously slithering, removed from reality, sickening, every move acted wrong. The mind controls everything in the body and the body obeys responds quietly without making mistakes the mind may punish it. The body is restless but the mind never sleeps thoughts and thoughts without conclusion or direction rumble and tumble exhausting the body to the limit.   The dark mind in a frozen cave dreaming and imagining miniature and immense elements that the body can accomplish yet fails in attempt. The mind does not have a road map yet the body must follow the directions correctly trudging though highway and streets of silver and through the forest of fear the body stumbles and come to an ocean or regrets.
