Mindset
The mind both dark and light
is our struggle the mere stride
not accepting that within
it’s really about the same thing
In spirit as one undivided
taking life as it so beautifully is
ride the tides to their wonder
and fulfillment of dreams
All can be what it seems
what you want, what you need
going up, going under
If thunder scoops your head
your sunny side maybe sleeps
in its self-smitten bed
You can wake it up anytime
just decide
facing left, going right
or stay sad
