Body of Sea

Forgive the mind Its whim and pine As it bends To the undertow. Adrift on this ocean Of human emotion; Of chemical Ebb and flow. The tides are preset, Demanding respect. Let From the body The mind explore; An outstretched hand Will find the sand, To carve sanity On the shore. circa 2005
