Mind


Mind

mind took a deep breath
and pierced with light and softness,
it found peace and divine communication
between the earth and sky
then mind bloomed spring into summer,
weaved autumn into winter

mind found reason and meaning,
and it flowed like paradise water
and it cried silently and smiled
without words, just feeling
—
Mind lived in colours
slipping into rivers and
the spaces between our pulse,
it curved over ice-splashed pavements,
the sides of iron gates and rested 
under the maple, the oak and pine
to understand the song of contentment

Mind was always meant to be as splendid
as a clear sky, as pure as a newborn— 
it was always meant to stitch the world 
between us through an ordinary ray of sunlight
maybe even a drop of rain

if mind had its way,
its journey would never end,
it would smooth the wrinkle, soften the storm
it would absent the pain and the scar...
would live an eternity in love
and God would smile down on mind

I was in a moment. :P My first writing of MIND was about four years ago. I was looking through old bits yesterday and found it, then decided to slip in a few extended lines of thought. Thank you for gracious reply and welcome, Jim Healey. Also, hoorah for Newfoundland! :D
