Mind Museum

Sad the heart 
sick the mind
from world 
of commotion
retiring
past reliving
motionless drifting
to wall mind
hanging museum
odorless images
soundless captions
spirit of senses
still pricking
heart 
joy seeking
switching from 
dreaming
to present of
gadgets unhealing
blowing away walls  
breathing out
relics
dropping its shoes 
of backward walking
raising its heels
that present
kept hidden
runs to the forest 
for healing
where weeds 
grow seeds
untouched by mower
flowers 
pure fragrance
perspire
petals unfold 
true colors
unseen
like love 
that's pure
because hidden
brooks flow gently
accompanying songs
of birds 
like treasure 
chest hidden
each moment the forest 
renews itself 
perpetuating life
by giving 
with rains
sun milk
its body
God feeding
its spirit by seeding 
continuing
interdependence
and togetherness
teaching
God's unifying love
revealing.
