Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

Mind Goes On Vacation

MIND GOES ON VACATION    

My mind likes to go on vacation
but where it goes is anyone’s guess.
It will just take off without notice 
leaves me and my head…an empty mess.

Its so irresponsible, my mind
to get up and go somewhere and hide.
As if not bad enough to leave town
leaves me feeling…been hit broadside.

Mind wants to escape each days struggles
understand, why wants to run and hide.
But it’s companion my beating heart
has Bible as it’s…trustworthy guide.

Our heart’s the seat of motivation
influences our passions and desire. 
It implants within me grains of hope
the’ two of them’ still…my life inspire.

My mind’s  brilliant and intelligent
when in the moment decides to stay.
But oh… things and people I forget
when suddenly turns…and walks away.

The embarrassing predicaments
when suddenly leaves and goes some where.
Silly and stupid mistake’s I make
always apologizing…here and there.

Honestly, my mind isn’t that bad 
like body, a little out of shape.
Recent diagnosis of P.A.H.
lack of oxygen causes… mistakes.

Frederic Parker July 17, 2018 at 6:12 PM interesting battles we have with our minds as though separate and apart and yet if we weren't separate and apart, how could we have battles...how could it run and hide...my first thought after reading your very interesting poem dear poet Barbara Barry-Nishanian July 19, 2018 at 3:28 PM you referred to me as a"dear poet"...I loved that, don't see me as that yet..tho recent gold first place might steer my thoughts that way soon.I appreciate you very kind comments.
