A Desert Landscape


Source: fascination–infatuation

A Desert Landscape

My mind is a desert landscape,

full of worries and contradictions.

It blasts away any chance of peace,

keeping me awake seeking sleep.

Thoughts are jumbled in the cobwebs,

lining the halls of my utter despair.

Bells ring in these curved walls,

warnings for me to take care.

Once one hole is filled in,

another one soon emerges.

A shovel will not do the job

to keep me safe from my pride.

A better state of mind is needed

to repair the damage already done.

My mind is a desert landscape,

full of worries and contradictions.

Thank you, Ron. If my mind were as bad as that, I'd be in trouble. But I do have thoughts racing around in there that keep me awake at nights. And so, I write.

I sense not despair, but a source of wonderful poetic expression.

When my mind goes someplace it is usually to the beach in the winter, when it is empty and cold & devoid of humanity...that is my place of comfort as it seems that maybe the desert is yours...-e-

Are you sure you weren't inside of my mind when you wrote this? It's much like my mind, with the exception that there is a lot of rust in mine.

The mind can take you to too many places and leave you with endless thoughts of where you have been.

"Thoughts are jumbled in the cobwebs,
lining the halls of my utter despair."
Yea, that's pretty graphic to convey what's going on. The mind has a way of taking us for a ride, on a trip we don't want to take. Focused, rhythmic breathing help, as does the repetition of a sacred mantra. John
