Mind games
Out of sight out of mind But under the surface, What survives? Who decides? The tug of war unravels, But the push and pull persists. Stay vigilant, on roads winding; The drive, the view- it’s exciting. But mind over matter Only works when it doesn’t. Latent longing, long unlearnt. Chronically choked and churned. Like a wildfire unleashed, Searing through autumn leaves. Scarlet surfaces, swiftly; Baring it all, briskly. A one track mind may not foresee Under tangled roots, there is a seed. Redolent reverie, in the wind wafts - Bear in mind, it’s all scattered, silent and soft.
