A reflective and inward-looking poem, by Rajashree, exclusively for Different Truths.
Many shades of blue Its difficult to prove The mind operates through you Can it be dropped, with alternatives can one move If move mindlessly, will the truth be revealed to you! A war zone! Heart fights with mind when a desire passes through, Hardly one can escape and return to the rhythms of life. If you lose, thrown to a prison Mind functions through senses If channelised with all its energy would reveal heaven. The clouds of hallucination may knock you down to hell All that is beautiful Is visible through mind All that is ugly, is hidden behind Be its master With subtle logic you can be a creator Mind is a gateway of the world Let’s behold nothing but that loving force manifested in everything on earth, even in a grain of sand.
