Weevils of the Mind

Fingers on the keyboard Unlock mysteries of the mind Guarded by the demons of Secrecy, shame and self-consciousness I can hear these demons now As numerous as the weevils Boring into my cranium Snarling and snapping in my ear O tortured thoughts Reveal thyselves Unwrap your presence Open yourselves to the sun's strength As thy spirit absorbs the light So will thy bones and marrow Glow with the red cells of life's blood O mindfulness Meditate upon the spirit Know that muscle and sinew Are but thy weak brethren For within thy sub-conscious Lies the universe's answers They will reveal themselves According to your courageousness And willingness to listen March 10, 2016

This is a bit "deep" for me but I feel a strong message in there for those with the "insight" to read it. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
