the experimental mind...

When exploring thoughts occur

Bring passions which explode across your mind

Bringing your full attention ...to chart a different course

Convert the question to a point further away

Extending your reach beyond your know

Take time, unleash a probe ...along a different line

Why must you question the need ...just plant the seed

The growth rings of the idea ...tempts fate

Brings changes ...as if blind discovery

Makes a full recovery ...possible

Although it may fall beyond reach today

It may bear fruit ...tomorrow

Even so, you may find

Resistance to the course of choices

Which may be seen ...as worthless dreams

Or a complete pointless wasting ...of resources

Like those whose lives fly so straight and narrow

As spirits of ancestors give silent testimony

Not only do they fail to smell the roses

They seem to think it’s wasting time

Even listening to those voices

So factual ...untactical

Because the gift

Of an expanding mind

Works overtime to find new choices

And in an ever changing world that drifts

How do you catch the bird ...which flies to flee

You hit it with a tree ...or rather a narrow piece of wood

Brought to a narrow point ...we call an arrow

All said... some clever folk agree

Why constipate your mind

Relax awhile ...just

Set it free
