The Vessel of Life

The brain is an ever changing vessel filled with first impressions, truths and lies of what life gives and also takes away. It is a vessel filled with hope, regret sadness and joy a place of learning yearning forever's and goodbyes. The mind delivers tragedies break ups make ups illusions confusion love of what there is and what there’s not. Hope and sadness sorrow pain as we go through life looking for some type of gain walking on our heals one step ahead but one step back lost like spitting into the wind. We strive, connive and play our cards and what is shown is what lie, all for a glimpse of what is ours. The vessel drains then it fills overflows gives us thrills, it beats our heart and pumps the blood it gives us life. Is that understood? Yet we abuse infuse but try not to lose our way so we can stick around another day to play the game of life for which we pay. © 2010 Charles Dennis http://www.charlesdennis.netne.net

Hi Charles.I find this a very interesting and intellectual write.I think the brain is amazing.Unfortunately we can feed it so much rubbish, more so when we are young.I value my mind and I can see you value yours.And I am grateful that you use it to share your gift of words.Although it's a liitle tired just now you gave my brain food for thought and I enjoyed it. Thank you. Luv June.(sylvia)
