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 :):):)

Casarah Nance May 31, 2014 at 7:40 AM 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. :)

Cherl Dunn May 10, 2014 at 10:04 PM 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

Laura Breidenthal January 5, 2014 at 8:33 PM 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

Carl Fraser December 3, 2012 at 12:09 PM 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

Debbie Guzzi September 2, 2012 at 2:47 PM LOL Linda you'll give yourself a headache..In Buddhist term [monkey mind]meaning "unsettled; restless; capricious; whimsical; fanciful; inconstant; confused; indecisive; uncontrollable". [Hey i got one too! It does no one any good!] Light & Love

Justin Bordner July 28, 2012 at 10:47 AM 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. ^^^ Justin Bordner July 28, 2012 at 11:26 PM I just had to read this piece again! In the above comment I am making reference to my Guardian Angel - Thanks for trusting your talent! J.A.B.
