Mind Spinning
James E. Spurgeon Jr. 1986 (New Jersey)
Mind spinning
Twirling round and round
Head turned up so the tears won’t take that turn down
Words are spoken but talk is cheap
Act on it and don’t just speak
Lest it be from your heart
And every breath spoken is meant from the start of it all
We rise, we fall
And back up again
Cycles, revolutions
Growing
