The Nature Of Things
Strong emotions & passionate desires always dwell
in deep waters
Swim in this well of currents that flow freely even if
they're within close quarters
Dive deeply into shallow thoughts & mine your mind
for pearls of wisdom
Jewels are often just below the surface hidden in plain
sight but you don't see them
You can free them with your attention as observation
helps them breath
Cultivating the minds fertile soil frees up space for
them to breed
There's a need for us to grow toward the sky just like
trees
You stay stagnant when you lack the water that's
necessary for your seeds
Is it me, or is the world trapped in a field of dreams
full of weeds?
It strangles ideas before fruition so their fruit you
never see
Your fruitful mind longs for the freedom that birds
enjoy unencumbered
Free yourself from the things that bind your wings
& keep you tied to deep slumber
