Echoes of My Mind

A word spoken long ago
Not meant to be unkind, 
Hurt another all the same,
An echo of my mind.

A thought was formed, no ill intent
Fruitiion could not find; 
It lives there still in solitude,
An echo of my mind.

A deed was done--can't be recalled
To help my thoughts unwind, 
I worry now for its effect
An echo of my mind.

The things I think and say or do
Will through my life rewind;
They all come back to me again
The echoeds of my mind.

Let those echoes , fall as ink onto paper. A poet's heart and mind needs its release. Write with both truth and purpose and the path has less dark turns and more peaceful dawns.. The mind, is a room, fill it with grand furniture, not plastic and selfish wishes my friend. I think you already see that... LET YOUR INK DISPLAY WHAT HEART AND MIND SEE. A fav..
