MIND SEARCHiNG
The mind is never still: it’s like a whirlpool.
Writhing, spiralling, circling;
Making dizzy one’s thoughts, reflections,
ones calculations and decisions.
The mind is never silent, it’s like the thunder.
Deafening, instructing, chastising;
Promoting the soul to obey its command
To conform, to capitulate.
The mind is never resting.
It’s like the sea;
Moving, forcing, pounding,
Laying down and cutting out.
The mind is never peaceful, it’s like a storm.
Frightening, raging, damaging;
Breaking the peace of one’s contentment,
Facing doubts, where once were fear.
The mind is never senseless, it’s like rock.
Learning, teaching, deciding.
Forcing out inconsistencies,
Building on strengths that lie untapped
Clever use of repetition to explore different characteristics of the mind.
