The Mind
The mind hides, behind eyes
Working to spread its skies
Soaked in desire we try to fly
There isn’t space for wings to dry
The mind seeks us, to complete
It’s promise, to the maker of deceit
Tempted in, we blindly comply
One day, we’ll reveal a regretful sigh
We’ve played into the mind’s hands
Awake or asleep, we’re its best fans
It rides along everywhere we go
Becoming inseparable as we grow
No one says parting isn’t painful
Especially with the mind, it’s faithful
Let it run away to its unknown destiny
Ours is known, in thought-free clarity
