What was I thinking?

Let it be free

In my mind I planted a seed. 
What I see, I think I need. 
What I need, I think I see. 
What I think is right for me. 

A seed of thought in a natural process, 
It grows in size, this is a test.

If we try to manage what we desire, 
the life of the seed may never grow higher. 

It branches away from upward flight,
adjacent to what we think we need is right.

Like a body of water, it seeks its own level,
controlling these thoughts can lead to trouble. 

To let the seed grow toward the sun, 
i’ll tell you what must be done. 

A thought from birth, cannot grow higher, 
if we feed its roots with what we think we need and desire. 

Let its growth be natural and free,
and not influenced by desires,
that we think we see and need.

The first verse says it all and is absolutely perfect. This brought a smile of understanding to my face this morning.
