My Mind

My mind, I find Is not The most interesting place. The realization Hits me in the face. I am amazed, I have allowed It to control My days And nights, Even my dreams When I sleep. Oh, now I know, Why they say Meditate, To achieve A state of stillness And heightened awareness. to step out Of the mind, I don’t always Have to sit with my eyes closed. Tending to my Roses, Baking a cake, Walking by the lake, Writing on my pad, Playing with my cat, Are some of the things Which make me hum and sing, And get out of my mind Stepping back helps me gain Peace and new insight.
