The human mind never ceases to fascinate. Philosphers and thinkers have pondered on the nature of the mind and its endless potential. But, what strikes me most is that the mind is a tireless monkey, jumping from one branch to another. Jumping, jumping … just like that. Here are a few words on the MIND.
Oh, If only you could tell, dear mind
Where to sleep to cast off the despair,
For you too travel all the while with me,
Across emotions, all the while.
For even when I sleep,
Across the dark nights,
You travel, to dreamlands unknown,
When do you break your sojourn, Oh Dear!
Do you sleep on the dark barks,
On trees along your travel,
And steal the fruits for me,
To console my long lost sorrows.
Or Dear! Do you wrap around,
Pebbles nice and round,
To decorate my dreary self,
And then sleep in the watery depths.
Oh! Tell me dear, Do You?
Walk around the mush meadows,
Singing me songs, sweet and long,
Trying to lull me into sleep.
Ah, I think I know,
May be you never sleep,
And you wander, around orchards,
Green and thick, all the time.
May be you always fly,
Taking me with you, across
The blue ocean, across lands,
Unknown, like a jet soaring to the stars.
