Mind is a wandering tinker man
and for sure a fool in disguise
but no one says, “Nay”
to the thoughts of the day
that redirect man, woman, and child
away from essential love.

So mind in disguise rules every roost
and pulls tricks from the pool of truth
and this performance applauded, not booed,
becomes our security.

There are subtle symbols and signs
meant to be studied, assessed, and measured
but, oh, how the traffic confuses a mind
and we miss the corners and bends
strategically placed to lead us
into the meaningful.

To not take the corner and swing within
results in a bull-headed charge
into the furnace of hell
and what is hell if not the fire
that reduces passion to ash
and love to the crackle and snap
heard but never felt.

So we’ll rest for a spell in the heat
and think maybe begin again
but too late to turn, too late to learn,
when we’ve said pass to the intuitive heart.

‘tis life, my friends, simply life
that entertains a fool in disguise!
