The Mind Hunter

In search of the human mind Different thoughts crossed my mind, a few conclusions I could not find The human mind has no stop! Receiving input, danger, before I blow my top Sometimes the light clicks I think I figured out the problem It's at the tip of my mind ;-) Sorry, my brain cells did it again, Ran out of THINK! When it comes to love, I'm brain dead! This is me talking to my brain, "Are you just being lazy, you fell too quick?" A game in a maze inside my head! Give me some help, or what use are you Open the way only you can unlock the door. Unfold my future, stop hiding the key How about it mind? Do you want me to put you back on pills? Stand back brain, while I explain your job. The Human mind is not easy to read like a book However, some are cruel limiting judgment, with one look The mind plays tricks when too much information is perceived The mind is related to the heart, sending signals the wrong way The mind works when the body's asleep (I call it a dream, I hope you don't mind I put it there!) The mind creates beauty, wonders of the world The mind is a soft whisper, a secret, my conscious ---I Swear The mind is devious, tricky can outsmart like a fox The mind is a beautiful thing to waste in a box The mind can journey, without leaving its nest The mind is knowledge, many fail to explore The mind is a Captain, traveling far and beyond The mind is like a paint brush, colorful art The mind is a creature who hides in a cave The mind is like pain, don't stop in its way The mind is like a mime who does not talk at all The mind is fragile, don't use it like a sponge The mind is like a pair of shoes, without the mind we're bare The bottom line is, the mind is a mystery! Don't mind me, I lost my mind, years ago :):):) (THOUGHTS)

Lots of thinking going on in this poem. You are right the mind is a mystery! So much even left untouched. So much to explore and your descriptions are unique, a mime who does not talk, a creature in a cave. You've got my mind working. :)

Wow woman what layers texture do I begin with in this boggling poem, I love your ending it pulls everything together at the end, your write about the mind being a complicated thing to understand, and sometimes it's just two confusing but we must do just that, enjoyed the read tonight, take care cheri

Glad to see you have reviewed your work as well as others reviews. I thought this poem was very well thought out. On the wild side, and I have found that some of these lines speak to me. I've had similar sentiments, but not necessarily worded so poetry as how you've presented. Sleuthing around with the mind is quite the adventure. I think poetry is a great way to collect some of those adventures we personally have within. Always, Laura

Hi Linda, i went back to your earlier posts to see how you evolved as a poet and my dear Linda, i must say, that your mind is a very creative tool blessed by god, you have flourished quite well as a poet and as gods creation, my theory on the mind is just let the wheel spin and write it down as you go. Blessings my friend, Carl

Elegantly educative Linda - this composition is so valuable for me at this time because I am coming to a profound awakening about a very special Being - although I'm excited about knowledge, I know it demands tribute -this poem encapsulates what I'm intuitively exploring right now-thank you,Sphinx - my Odyssey is in full swing-with respect,J.A.B. ^^^
