My Mind

My mind is like a well read novel--
and the pages there are torn,
rustling, crunching, crackling noises
from whence my thoughts were born.

A thousand words, a thousand more--
fill my brain with beautiful silence,
round and round like a merry go round,
my betraying voice of violence.

My mind is like an antique bass;
each vibrant hum,echoes sweetly--
clefs and trebles, my music sheets
are compiled ever so neatly. 

I find in song, the greatest friend--
each note, a sincere appreciation,
fa, so, la, ti, do-- a graceful chant,
within a tomb, my souls vibration.

My mind is like a pregnant garden--
with fruits from shore to shore,
an apple tree, no longer forbidden
rivers of gold, in my hearts decor.

Valleys that extend to your dreams,
are wondrous places, I do implore--
Wherein I see your face, I think
I must someday venture to explore.

My mind is like a wilting rose,
for when it falls, no one knows.

I enjoy any write that gives insight to the mind and it's workings. someone is not there mind as someone is not what they do, rather how they do it, with their passion, creativity and care. I liked the flow and imagery of "Valleys that extend to your dreams, are wondrous places, I do implore-- Wherein I see your face, I think I must someday venture to explore"
