If Mind Then Thoughts
Whence they come?
Thoughts
Relentless robbery of focus
Hapless hijack of purpose
Perennial pervasion of space
Sentinel squander of time
Prey on the mind
Feed on the will
Play with the meek
Fool with the weak
A moment’s arrest
A life’s goal !!
Balancing Duality Within
If - Then
Conditional says the Doubter
Motivational says the Believer
Limiting says the Free-thinker
Control says the Mitigator
Restrictive says the Liberal
Caution says the Moderate
Coercive says the Radical
Restrain says the Social
Logic says the Scientific
Karmic says the Dharmic
Subsumed
Mind
Mind is an ape
Monkeys around
Manifests the world
Muddles the identity
Mystifies the self
Masks in sleep
Meditate will it upon itself?

Thanks to Ms. Vandna Patel (thoughtsprocess) for introducing me to Pleiades form of poetry!
AUTHORThank you so much Sowrabha jii, very kind and encouraging words! It’s inspiring to see the fellow hubbers write and motivate! Thanks again!
Namasthe Yogiji, here we see you in a different avatar and what a poet you are!
Such power in these limited words. It is meditative.
I will not do the injustice of choosing one as each one resonated. Pithy. Precise. Poignant.
Waiting for more.
