Passport to the Mind There’s things to see in foreign lands, Just waiting for us all. The Tahj Mahal and Pyramids, Some Canyons, Dams and Falls. Around the world, from shore to shore, Between our ice capped poles. The things you’ll find are wondrous, And lovely to behold. The Artic wastes and Desert sands, Great forests lush and green. Villages built high on stilts, Italian towers that lean. But have you ever travelled, In the highways of your mind? A territory so unexplored, Amazing what you’ll find. Anger, Hatred, Jealousy, Cruelty, Fear and Greeds. Are lurking there within its walls. With far much better seeds. Kindness, Passion, Sympathy, Humour, Joy and Love. Share this land with all these things, But which will rise above. The traveller within us cries, To sample all we tread. But normally we ‘choose’ the place, We finally make our bed. So hold your passport in your heart, And stamp your visas clear. So you, as well as those you touch, Know just which path you steer. Ivor G Davies The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last. It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past. |
