In a blank void called a mind
That nothing can occupy
Being so uniquely original
Where no other clones can duplicate

This space of creativity
Existence with all the emotions of man
Form the deepest sorrows
To the highest level of enlightenment

This world that carries mental illness
To the highest level of intelligence
Sometimes jumping like a yoyo
Depressed states hiding within inspiration

Thinking so expressive
In words carrying vivid images
From one void to another
Never duplicated but mirrored
Within reflective interpretations

In the communication with others
A solitary world is concocted
In stimulated teaching of others
Taking on your personalities glow

So in this special composting
Things will ferment in intensity
Into to the worst vinegar
Or the greatest vintage of wine
Tasted by other people’s minds
