Stones Of The Mind - Poem

Stones Of The Mind

We live heavied by the
stones of the mind,
left to be lifted by our
own personal strength.

To bring destruction
upon ourselves and othersh
is a common goal in
the unconscious mind.

When sickness takes over
the stones come alive,
hate . . . fear . . . guilt. . .
shame, and on and on.

Negative thoughts feed
into the stones,
fear being the most
staple food of them all.

To be in search of a
fix . . . . . chocolate . . .
drugs . . . alcohol . . .
sex . . . . .

Whatever the high
might be . . . . . its a
temporary pleasure
only to be diffused by time

As life's mysteries
become unfolded . . .
so be it, the stones
break into pieces.

A lightbulb illuminates
as a closed door opens,
the stones disintegrate
as love enters the soul.

Just when you think you
have cleansed your mind
of the stones, behold . . .

Look inward and you
will find some still
resting about.

So true. Fear is what is at the core of everything that plagues us. Fear comes from ignornce, but even if you are not ignorant on the matter, fear can still creep in. No matter how grounded and sure of yourself you tink you are, there are still fears deep within.

Keep posting you works. I like reading them :) They are an intelligent break from Dr. Seuss!
