They can see Without really seeing They can exist Without really being What would they do If confronted by you? Something only time could measure No gold nor jewels in this treasure And when I’m alone Inside my mind, Nothing transpires, nothing hurts Inside my mind A place to go Without ever leaving A faith somehow Without even believing My body wrecked and shattered But none of this matters There’s a garden where I go In which the seeds of life grow And when I’m alone Inside my mind, Nothing transpires, nothing hurts Inside my mind |

This is beautiful. It's so amazing how we feel that our pain and hurt lies within us,... yet if we allow ourselves to go deeper inside our minds we find the peace that we've been searching for all along...I'm glad you've found it.  -molly aka sam Fleeting World "Thus shall ye think of all this fleeting world: A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream; A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream." -from the Diamond Sutra, translated by : A. F. Price -- found in Teachings of The Buddha, edited by Jack Kornfield |

Where the seeds of life grow I think thats my favourite line from your poem..our mind's where ideas originate..where the impossible becomes possible..where we can do and be who we want Thanks for taking me on this journey insdie your mind Tess "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

Just a few words about this topic I loved it. Inside our minds is a place I think we all go every now and then. Thank-you for sharing your thoughts. |
