When the Mind Wanes
WHEN THE MIND WANES
In jeweled sky he doesn’t count stars’ grain
Asks why for whom in dark void do they glide
On starless nights he searches sky in vain
Finds them in child’s eyes, asks why the stars hide.
On the beach he doesn’t count the waves’ row
Asks why for whom in open air waves break
In the ebbed sea he doesn’t find waves grow
Finds them in broken hearts, asks why waves wreck.
Rain drops dripping from leaves he doesn’t count
Asks how big drops should grow for them to fall
When the leaves dry he calls clouds to dismount
Feels the eye lash wet, asks why do tears crawl.
Deep in psychic space he sees his mind wane
Blind in his world, they say he is insane.
