An Ordered Mind

Waisting the breath of life

Cursing the blight of evil.

We who shape our destiny,

At times destroy the outcome.

 

Memory prevails in age,

If it has been metriculated

And honed in an ordered mind,

That lets not distractions interfer.

...something about that last line, it touches me, but can't say why, & that in itself intrigues me...

"We who shape our destiny,
At times destroy the outcome." Boy... was I guilty of that (on occasion) in my youth. Thinking back can give me chills at times.

..."the primary sign of a well-ordered mind
is a man's ability to remain in one...place
and linger in his own company" L.A. Seneca.

Keep thinking your brilliant thoughts George.
