In My Mind
In my mind, I do find
That thoughts are all a jumble
Breathing calm, relaxing palms
Clenched teeth and jaw released
My thoughts start to wonder
To star fields and yonder
Great battles in my mind
Is that Jesus? Socrates? Tolstoy?
Or just a bit of dirt in my eye?
Like night casting out the day
They have nothing more to say
Alien worlds, lustful thoughts
Dead men walking
It’s all just talking
They make sure they get their say
Sunrise, sunset
The moon arising
Venus bedazzling
Jupiter maddening
Mars preparing once again
To shed the blood of ghosts and men
Quantum realities within our grasp
It’s all plainly written there
It’s all just Math
Einstein and Hawking rolled the dice
Through a black hole - a 6 and a 9
God said “Nice!”
But as history tells
Time shrinks and swells
History repeats itself
Until it forgets
History repeats itself
Until it forgets
Until it forgets
Just then, a thought
And then it’s
gone…
