Mind of its Own

My mind is always thinking

it has a mind of its own

it wanders

when it’s wondering

but finds its way

back home

It chases

its own shadow

and dreams

during the day

It tries to stay

in one place

but always

runs away

The mind that’s always thinking

and has a mind

of its own

while minding

its own business

leaves other minds

alone

Sea Soul

Heart of the Sea

inviting me to follow

into depths

where there is

no option

of turning back

A one way adventure

with no safety net

to pull me up

no breath of life

to revive me

no footprints

to be followed

Yet I am aware

of greater things

awaiting me

in penetrating

the depths

of mind

will and

emotion

Journeying

to the

soul of

the Seas'

quiet awakening

Liquid oxygen

exchanging my life

for another

Sea-ing Spirit

embracing me

singing together

the song of

the Sea

Crossroads

When standing

at a crossroads

it's not the end

it's the beginning

of a continuation

of four directions

Be grateful

you're at

the center

make your choice

it's all good

you won't

step off

into an abyss

You will step

into your place

stepping into place

the place

you've been seeking

to fit into

where is your place?

It's in the center

the center of balance

circle of living

where the four

winds blow

where life begins

and ends

and continues

from there

Be grateful

you are

finally there

where you are

where you belong
