Be You Mindful O My Mind!
Be you Mindful O my mind;
like a ship in a stormy sea
you toss me.
A ship uncertain of its fate:
whether to find safety on land,
or be lost at sea;
or whether to be dashed
against rock and hope
to destruction.
In a world of illusion
you plunge me--
In oceans of fantasy
I revel
Of the most illusive dreams
I dream;
In a world of euphoria
I dwell
In idealistic pastimes
I pander
In utopia
to escape from the hard realities
of existence I delude.
