Vitality

Taming the mind’s vitality

Isn’t just for strengthening morality

But for the spirit that lays hidden

Beneath the mind to which we are smitten

The current of vitality can never be broken

Consumed by thoughts that remain unspoken

Stalking the future making it foreboding

Vitality is hard to enjoy under that coating

The mind may be life’s essential cog

But it shrouds true vitality in a fog

Sapped by thoughts that rain year round

We cannot easily rise above soaked ground

In the search for the source of vitality

We must go beyond the world of plurality

When the smokescreen of the mind clears

The freshness of vitality clears all arrears
