Rumination

People with heavy minds
 They are of all kinds 
Yet all are entrapped with the same binds
They think and think more, Than they blink 
in few clinks, Of those binds.
How heavy of chains they bear
How dense and murk is their fear
 How they shed those blood-soaked tears.

From where can they find the courage 
To fight fears which have them pillaged 
Being enslaved by their own mind 
 Turning their gaze blind Oblivious to all.

Are their solutions on hindsight, 
Or will they fly amongst Arctic tern, 
To burn their concerns in the flames of blue? To soar akin to a Phoenix, And rise above their fears
