Wills of the Mind
Some works are brought about by the mind veiled
Lungs breathing, eyelids blinking, the heart beating non-stop
Are done in the mind asleep with no will
Emotions flow here and there with no guide
Though we can build dams to have some directional flow
Emotions still ripple through gaps and cracks
Other works are done with a lonely will
Most are born into the world by the bodily mind
Pleasures and darkness are its short-lived dreams
Some are designed by the rational soul
The foundation of all man-made castles and towers
Morals and duty are its drowsiness
A few come to light by blazing spirit
A silent pearl that is within every plant and tree
Silence and mystery are its daylight
Intent and works come from sleep and awareness
From battles between water and soul, sleep and spirit
You must choose which to follow in these long battles
