Notes About The Poem

Garden of Our Mind

Living life in hypnotic trance With ego, forged an alliance Enmeshed in a web of desire With fearful thoughts, daily, did dance Propelled thus along orbit dire Trauma bonded till we did tire Shifted track, got innocence back Tranquil mind, no longer afire Free from ego’s savage attack Blissful heart no longer felt lack Mindful eye filtered thoughts of greed Infusing joy, our inborn knack Fused mind and heart, riding love’s steed Became light, in thought, word and deed Pastures of our mind now fragrant Allowing love to take the lead Soul void centric, our heart content Erst ego cravings decadent Divine mind, Garden of Eden Living light, self-luminescent 21-March-2022 Garden Inspirations Poetry Contest Sponsor: BJ Legros Kelley
