It's a great poem penned from the deepest feeling and you have shown excellently how the unseen qualities of mind can be controlled with the key of consciousness. A nice creation of inner thoughts. Lovely done. Loved always, bl

thought-provoking with lines that captures the borderline between being sane and not... i once wrote a one-liner in high-school that went: " to be sane is to have moments of sanity.."... greeat stuff!..:) huggs
