In the Dungeon of My Mind
In the dungeon of my human mind
conflicting notions you will undoubtably find
unanswered questions of life unwind
destroying peace, conflict entwined
Offense, defense, perpendicular or parallel
Stagnant memories that linger and swell
Tragedies that have befell
capsizing your internal be well
I offer my paradoxal thoughts to you O Lord
This isn't the vision I want to hoard
Grant me the wisdom often ignored
pick me up, take me aboard
A beautiful vessel granted to my outside human form
transcend my inner space where love abides as norm
In a world where hate is daily ingested
Keep my thoughts peacefully invested
When invaded by thoughts of anger and hate
By your grace guide them to quickly abate
Assist me dear Lord not to berate
Gently guide your love to saturate
Today I will be attentive to the songbirds tweet
Negative thoughts consequently delete
with a melodious song so sweet
In this fleeting moment I am complete
