The mind inhales through us

Accumulating invisible dust

It is hard to see with our eyes

What’s behind the mind’s disguise

The mind’s tastes give the body no rest

Forgetting all that it has to digest

The sinews carry the load

On life’s long and twisty road

The mind drinks the juice of logic

What the heart says is off topic

Indecision claims our emotions

While the heart fights for our devotion

The mind speaks through our voice

We can pause, that’s our choice

Thoughts and words turn golden

When the mind leaves us free and open
