MIND MATTERS


Staring out the window,
My mind void of thought.
Like in a dream of nothingness,
Suspended in time......

No sounds, no smells,
Only empty space wraught.
How long have I been this way?
Abruptly, something comes to mind.







Day dreaming, I was,
It's a common place event.
Escaping into that small crevice,
A brief rest from time spent.

A healing place of sorts,
Among the everyday toils,
Small space but needed,
As back to life I receded.







I believe it is why,
Our brain has so many functions,
The working cells go overtime,
Filling us with assumptions.

Relentless of our feelings,
Now the part that gives us rest,
Takes us to a place,
That is less rilling and for the best..







What complicated systems,
Our Creator has put in place.
To govern our feelings,
Our actions to keep us safe.

While giving us control,
A freedom to choose,
What we want to unfold,
To be happy or to lose.







Material gain is not needed,
If in life you have peace of mind.
Knowing you have succeeded,
In having joy is just fine.

The puzzle pieces of life,
Are all put into place,
And you have the Savior,
The giver of mercy and grace.
