Free The Mind

The beautiful morning bathes in sunlight,
shades of magnificence dance in the day,
uplifting thoughts inside an open mind.
Heaven laughs loud as clouds flutter the sky,
songbirds create exquisite melody
while life inhales the vast dream of alive.

The earth spinning so gently is alive,
capturing heat of wonderful sunlight,
breath filled with passion lifts sweet melody.
The desire to smile throughout the day
screams imagery towards the bright blue sky,
fantastic wonder now enters the mind.

Language strolls casually through grinning mind,
feeling the comfort of being alive,
fantasy slips love into the wide sky:
dripping with the soft warmth of fine sunlight.
Time grabs quietly the hem of the new day,
then it's soaked in its sunny melody.

Existence delights in heart's melody,
pushing the power up that drives the mind,
wander the mortality of this day
and shine coloured eyes that are so alive
into the rich beams of golden sunlight
that pirouette on white clouds in the sky.

Stroll along the freedom under the sky,
nature's uninterrupted melody
sweeps to our senses concerts of sunlight.
Extraordinary feats pass eyes - mind,
witness what it is like to be alive
inside silver mysteries of the day.

Skip, dance and live life inside of each day,
relish the comfort of the subtle sky,
fast and furiously souls cry alive
to the notes that spirit the melody
wrapping itself within pulses of mind,
raise your face and then submit to sunlight.

Alive we all are under the sunlight,
pop the melody of every day,
free the mind with happiness in the sky.

The sestina is an old French fixed form of poetry, dating as far back as the twelfth century. It is divided into 6 sestets (six line stanzas) and 1 triplet called an envoi which is just a concluding stanza that is half the size of the rest. Unless you wish to make the sestina harder than it already may be, it is usually unrhymed and works by repeating the end words of each line. The envoi contains, in any order, all of the six end-words. The catch is that one has to be buried in each line and another must be at the end of the line. The pattern for repeating the words is like this: (stanza A) 123456, (stanza B) 615243. This 615243 pattern is how each of the "next" stanzas are made.
