Best Mind Over Matter Poems
Halt this train of morose pondering
Arrest the mind of useless wandering
Will my beating heart quit floundering
Bring relief for this unrest
Make my soul a place of peace
Bid each day to bring release
Set in these bones the feel of ease
End the perseverance test
Wash me new in mercy's flow
Bid me strength and let me know
These things shall pass and make me grow
And will bring about my best
This is a re-post
eyes smiling--
lips conveying approval
mind thinks not....

We're obsessive, compulsive, good looking, repulsive..
Ever blameful with our faultless sight..
We're passive aggressive..
We're manic depressive..
We're even bipolar, that's right..
We're psychotic, neurotic..
Free wheeling, robotic..
From the day into the night..
(Mind to Death)
From thy mind pour
thoughts of life's most precious loss
I come in peace a broken mass.
My journey without matter
has left me tired and weak,
sadden by a world
great minds use to seek.
Within a once humble life exist
many dimensional minds a twist.
The life so beautiful
minds once sought
matter has injected
death over life,
mind's worse thought.
(Death the reply)
Thy death come but once to
minds of souls old, young and lost.
Death holds no grudge,
no prejudice
no love or hate
for matters over life
There once exist minds so strong
amidst this world
The seeds not planted did not fare well
The drugs fed upon thy grounds
Breeds greed upon a world
gone wrong
Only time will tell
how much longer will exist
mind over matter to life over death
For the matter which the mind now feeds
will continue to breed death over life
for all physical beings.
Mind Over Matter
By Sandi Hoot
Intact visualization in front of the mind
Whether happy or sad still one of a kind
In color or shadows of faded black and white
Brewed in my mind in the dark of the night
Floating in air with glittery dares
eyes that just continue to stare
A meeting of the heart
the souls drifted apart
What's the answer for today?
Should I let them slip away?
Centered sometimes from fear and hard times
looking for that comforting warm shelter to find
self examination or sometimes painted by broken dreams
Mind over matter should be easy it seems
Go forward and complete the task that's at hand
Breathe and continue to stay firm where you stand
Looking back I see only one set of footprints in the sand!
Beads of perspiration
form at my brow--
the liquid salt
rolls down the side
of my face,
passing over
my temples and
picking up speed
before plunging
into the hollows
beneath my cheekbones.
My muscles quiver
as fatigue burns
a path into my limbs,
igniting flames
that pulse through
my body with
ever-increasing
vigor.
I take in big gulps of air
to satisfy the ache
in my lungs
and push forward,
repeating to myself
a single phrase
over and over again:
Mind over matter.
Mind over matter.
Mind over matter.
Sickness may be spiritual
Instead of intellectual
We can move mountains with the faith
Of a mustard seed if we were to believe
We have B.A.’s M.A.’s and PhD’s
Yet, wisdom isn’t in the degrees
Everybody is so independent
Not needing a leader
But I follow The Way
The Creator
Those in power don’t know power
Real power controls all
Real Power has a government in His hand
And His power created man
Now, man makes laws that are flawed
Mans’ Legislation is prevarication
Deception is on the rise bound for devastation
One day as I sat on my bed I had a revelation
This is what was revealed to me
Peace and love are one
They’re encompassing
It does not just apply to some
Love conquers all
And if I stumble
I’m confident that
I’ll never fall
My Lord and Savior
Gives all who believes in Him
Favor
I stopped coping
And entered the door that
Was wide open
To an abundant life
In Jesus Christ
The heart feels the resolution
From the minds illusions
Drawing adverse conclusions
Cause for contusions
A product of evolution
Searching for a solution
Matter filled with pollution
Causing anxious delusions
In need of conclusive solution.
I nearly lost my mind today,
But I turned in time to prevent its escape…
But as I grasped it, to secure its flight…
My mind fought my hands,
With scratches and bites…
Yet perseverance and determination,
They stayed my grip…
And on to the flesh of my mind,
My tears began to drip…
Lo and behold my fear lost its prevalence…
I succumbed to my decadence…
And I met my future with timid steps…
My feet in tune with life’s rolling cadence…
Yet a miss-step, a fumble, or a slump,
Will land me in a conundrum…
And what will befall me then?
If I trap my mind once again?
And feel it sink its proverbial teeth to the bone…
And convince my sanity that it is not alone…
But grope for all I can,
To prove who I am…
But remain unsure...
And again I question what will be,
And make my mind take a knee…
So that we can meet these miles with confidence,
To show the world,
Our radiance…
Thoughts and acts attack sporadic a tactic without static/
Don’t panic you old addict forget that statistic/
I’ll slick back and go ballistic on a notebook with hope cooked rhetoric/
Stick affluent's in the pocket while they trick /
My treats click atonement with a tone meant like a rocket pack switch /
To lift influences and remit where there’s no glove to fit /
Times up tic toc tic get off it /
Turn on that mental faucet you lost it /
Take that addict tooth and floss it /
Just walk the line and don’t cross it /
I’m the boss kid try to open my lid and get in /
Something fidgets livid non timid /
Wearing it like a perfect hat fitted /
For what’s been inflicted it’s my decision and own action /
Attacking addiction never again slacking /
Crafting after flabbergasting /
Scold blabbers lasting /
It’s at old you you’ll be laughing /
Footing on the floor rolling so frozen /
No revisiting your bottom /
Just going for more to golden /
Bust a full intention to bench this option of affliction /
Trust the pull and tension and opt to shun a diversion /
It’s like learnin division from an alien that’s no mathematician /
The space to invision has no limitation /
Home you go divisional martian

mind
mental, conscious
knowing, inquiring, wondering
conscience, psyche, situation, problem
affecting, dictating, focusing
bodily, brute
matter
They say everything is Mind Over Matter, what does that mean,
can we protect ourselves from the unseen,
can we make a dirty soul clean,
what does Mind Over Matter mean.
If everything is Mind Over Matter, how does that work,
can we will away our every quirk,
can we make the predators not lurk,
how exactly does Mind Over Matter work.
They tell us Mind Over Matter is the way,
how do we use it, what do we say,
how do we make it change our day,
how is Mind Over Matter the way.
If it is really Mind Over Matter, show me how,
make it work right now,
make this wheelchair take a bow,
show me how!!!
Realization, sometimes is not our friend.
Especially when it shows you an end.
You think you've found a love so true.
But in the end, the only one that loved, was you.
Isn't it funny when you think your life's on track?
And with a sharp pain, you've been stabbed in the back.
You do everything that special person did ask.
Even when it felt wrong or was a loathsome task.
Not do they care how you think or feel.
Just as long as you close the deal.
In the end, its you that ends up in pain.
As they are the ones with everything to gain.
Its them that think they have truly won.
But you'll have the last laugh when its done.
Because wickedness and evil, can never truly prevail,
When good people live their life and you live it well.
As you get older it becomes plain
Your mind still thinks you are 21 years old again
For you think you can still run a mile and kick a ball
But your legs just ache and the kicking action means a fall
Fun and excitement is all you have now as stories are told
When having a few refreshments with your mates of old
As we gather around a crackling fire snug and warm
And remembrance and exaggeration is in true form.
