In Your Mind During Those Moments In Time

as you sit there
absorbing the calming rays of the morning sun
you read
and then realize how chaotic disarray is attempting to make love with harmony
in a world of insanity
while influencing your mind
during those moments in time

you interpret the “informative news”
as a need to amalgamate absurdities
with solutions for serenity
while initially resisting wishes and temptations of conformity
in your mind
during those moments in time

and then  s l o w ly  
you are confused by intellectual absurdities 
losing clarity and sanity
and sometimes becoming a victim of hypocrisy
falling head first into the world’s quicksand of misery
which wants to swallow up your mind
during those moments in time

Methinks the 'calming rays of the morning sun' are the best news of the day. The rest these days leads swiftly to the abyss. Light and Joy, Gershon

I totally agree. Sometimes we need to turn off the news, so as to feel.
