An Idle Mind

An idle mind is dangerous and bold
An idle mind is stories untold
An idle mind is lost in space
An idle mind is a slow embrace

An idle mind is doubt and fear
An idle mind is both far and near
An idle mind is restless streams
An idle mind is built on dreams

An idle mind is sharp yet blind
An idle mind is cruel but kind
An idle mind is dark and deep
An idle mind is awake in sleep

An idle mind is warmth and cold
An idle mind is bought and sold
An idle mind is melody unchained
An idle mind is a road unpaved
