Paul Marc Poet Rhyme

The Mind In Motion

The mind is an echo
Reflecting someone's belief
Like the notion of death
That leads us to grief

Merely bundles of thought
Tied up in the past 
Forming identity layers
We compare and contrast 

Programmed for survival
Hardwired with fear
Emotional alarm systems
For when I am not here 

The mind is deceiving 
With a compass I roam
One dwells in yourself 
To find the way home
