Space

The human brain's space
Contains storage room for more
Than three million years

The brain has branches
That looks like trees alive that 
Feed on chemicals

Fear produces bad
Toxic chemical that makes
Black branches in brain

Love cast out the bad
Produces good chemicals
That makes the brain well

(A book called "Who Stitched Off My Brain" tells about this and how to change bad into good.)

Wonderful haiku, Sara, thankxxx for sharing today and for commenting on my poetry too... just a little humor .. I like to think God has moments of fun time too.. I studied 3 years at Bible School through Kenneth Hagin (elder) and still have 1 year to go to completion but life with its turns and crisis now has me working and writing again... its one of my goals to finish for 2010... have a blessed day ..

Hi Sara, Love your wisdom in this! Very thought provoking. Yes, the mind, body, spirit and soul never forgets and the power of them working together within positive energy is truly amazing. A matter of choice as to how we choose to think. Sounds like a great book and you honor the sentiments of it beautifully here.

Sara, you continue to amaze me with the growth in your writing and the insights you provide to readers. Those who live in fear and without love can appreciate the sentiments about the brain's toxic chemicals. Bravo! Excellent, provocative writing (again). Love, Carolyn
