Simple Thought

Have you ever sat and wondered at what you might find;
if you could look in the corners, of someone else’s mind?
Would you see darkness or evil that could be;
if you could read another’s thoughts and their vision you could see?

Can evil be kept hidden with just a simple thought,
can it be passed on or does it have to be taught?
Are there special people, hidden all around, 
ones that can guide without making any sound?

Is the truth kept hidden, for that last big surprise?
Can it be just beyond the grasp of man’s eyes?
Are we alone, can there be any others?
Could there be other planets with our sisters and brothers?

Expand your horizon and let your mind think.
Maybe it’s revealed only when you blink.
Could we understand the truth, even if we were told?
This life is a mystery with many wonders to behold.

So true Mark, this life is one big mystery and I don't think we'll ever fully understand it. Tom

I'm not sure if I would ever want to fully understand it.
