The Mental Sea

I sail upon a mental sea
A crew of ego serving me
Polishing the rind and brass
And paying mind the weather mass

I let balloons into the breeze
The same that stirs the trees and leaves
Watch it rise and fall the sky
To tell me of the coming lie

And though I’ve sailed a goodly while
I’ve yet to find my land or Isle
A shore to plant my spirits light
A place to stay my phantoms plight

I seek no more the primal spoor
Nor do I seek the evermore
But seek a finish to my goal
By sweeping cobwebs from my soul

By cleaning up my passage steer
And putting out the flames of fear

  Beware that ego crew! It can sometimes get you into a whole lot of trouble!

I know of an isle in the sky where you can plant your spirit's Light and wash away all sins and blight on its Godly shores.
A shangri-la where fear dost disappear!

Come! Take my wing and I will fly you there on heavenly breeze.

The day promises to be much brighter!

Angel loves 'n kisses,
EA

You are the breeze that stirs the leaves...
and you are the wisdom of the trees.

That makes a great deal of sense to me, Seymour -- we all have our cobwebs to sweep -- I probably need an industrial sized cleaner -- lol ! ! !  Enjoyed....jo
