When the love flows I bow naturally
to the awesome power of mind
for creating within the reality
of sticking to the truth.

Not here these days in Africa
perhaps too where everyone lives
and so I walk on two feet upright
not ever in mindful bend.

I can hold forever that beauty inside
because mind is the lasting kind
but ‘tis indeed the shallow in me
that desires the ‘feel of a man’.

And I can also splash in a puddle
if not for the magic of mind
that produces a rabbit without a hat
and love without a touch.

There it is; can you see shallowness
where once I was prone to play
and how too little dries and leaves
when mind overpowers
a body in need?

Thannks RDB! No I'm not shallow but that doesn't mean I would'nt like to be just for that "feel", ya know. Sadly though when one has touched the sky (the mind), the ground (only the physical) is simply rejected. Perhaps a bit stupid but for now it just "is".

Interesting thoughts as always and perfectly rendered.

I believe the true heights are reached when mind and body are perfectly aligned in the enjoyment of Life and its pleasures.

love and hugs.

Dear Margherita, Yes I believe that too although perhaps better to say that I know it.

Thank you for your input. Always greatly appreciated.

Love

Thanks Lindsay, Magnus and Alison. Things generally work out the way they're supposed to so no use fretting and yet we still do, don't we? Just another human failing to add to the very long list.

You are so right about the mind. How sometimes the mind takes you away from that which is really the desire. It is kind of personal for me in the present situation that I am in and it will definatly cause me to pause.
