Monkey in the Brain
A restless mind, a frantic cage,
A squirrel on a wheel, thoughts that engage.
A starling's dance, a flurry, a flight,
Scattered ideas, lost in the night.
A beehive hum, a constant drone,
Worries that swarm, a ceaseless moan.
A mischievous imp, with tricks it weaves,
Luring thoughts down paths of fallen leaves.
The jester's call, a fleeting rhyme,
Distracts the focus, and consumes all time.
A broken record, stuck on repeat,
Nagging thoughts, a mental feat.
The gnat's shrill whine, an itchy plight,
Annoying thoughts that cloud the light.
But wait, there's more, a tangled crew,
Multiple monkeys, a restless zoo.
Conflicting ideas, in constant fray,
Pulling focus every single way.
Can this chaos ever be tamed?
The mind, a whirlwind, to be claimed?
Ah, but within the mental storm,
A spark ignites a nascent form.
The monkey mind, with training keen,
Can morph from a wild to a focused scene.
From playful swings to steady strides,
The mind transformed, a place to confide.
No more the chatter, the endless din,
The monkey's mind, a disciplined win.
For within resides a mighty king,
The Monkey King, his wisdom will bring.
The power of thought, a focused might,
Can tame the chaos, and bring forth light.
