Prisoners of Our Own Mind

Prisoners of our own mind...!

We choose to be a prisoner of our own mind,
entrapped for long in that self-induced grind!
Attempt to get away from this carnal slot,
after many moments, spent well in thought!
Revel in the glory of co-existence in peace,
and find in it, every individual's place at ease.

Looking far deeper in that state - of being,
is in fact the best form of art in 'seeing'!
'Truth for Truth', not with conditioned eyes,
dissolve ego, that's painted with luring dyes!
Once stripped in ethereal, to sheer existence,
its glorious vision of 'oneness' in persistence!

Glean and discern truth with poise and calm,
choose words and deeds, that mean no harm!
Flee from bondage of body, mind and intellect,
free thy 'Self' from this prison and resurrect!
Evolve in spirit at every opportune moment,
"Awaken 'n' realise", and be only in the present!

Lisa Ricci March 11, 2017 at 7:56 AM Hello Ram Ram. I believe we are all prisoners of our minds. We do this to ourselves how true. And yes may we free ourselves of this unnecessary bondage. You have expressed yourself well. Well done throughout. Ram Ram March 11, 2017 at 8:17 AM Thank you so much.... I'm delighted with your comment. True, we are a bundle of thoughts and we become what we think !!!
