Two Minds

How to see the beauty, You see through eyes that are not open. A world so bright and colourful, Yet with no lights, you see no hope. The moonlight fills the air, Now the darkness can take the night. There's a beacon in the distance, Which poses the question, where do we stay? The beauty and the light Or The darkness and the night? Waking with thoughts, Your ideas are torture. I write to clear my mind, You punish yourself with ideals and what ifs. I clear the landscape to find the new, Your neglecting each side of the tale. The horizon is clear, Conflict is there. So to clear my mind, should I Speak up and fight Or Be open to what's right? Smells tease my senses, Whilst walking the same path? New beginnings and wonder everywhere, Blinded, confused and full of torment. I see smiles and laughter fills my ears, Noisy distractions for a filled mind. With both sides within my head, do I Stop in fear Or Let my fears become clear!
