I Am

Within the mind the monster sneaks Hidden by shadows of what we think The sin that hovers the conscious mind Awake we find the call for time Time to seek time to tell Time to buy time to sell Time to laugh time to cry Time for truth time to lie With in the heart the spirit speaks Revealing the secrets of what we seek The good we do often incomplete Awake we find the will we seek The will to live the will to die The will to fight the will to survive The will to love the will to hate The will to be silent the will to debate With in the ego the pride often speaks The outward appearance that everyone seeks The feelings governed by more than we see Awake we find what we should be Be more careful next time around Be the one who wears the crown Be the one without the mask Be the one who completes the task

What a great poem! Seems to be an alternative to the Bible’s there is a time. I this case it’s the monster inside the mind. Interesting! :)

we are fighters in this lifetime, and sometimes, we need to hide other times we need to pull down the mask, very nicely penned, thoughtful poem for sure, I like it
