Whirl
My head is a blur
thoughts twirling around
like snowflakes in winter
or in silence like the mist in fall
strong like the storm in the dessert
or as a hurricane raging round
coming towards to me
I try to duck and hide
Then suddenly there is peace
my mind at ease
finding what was lost
absorbing all inside
lots of wisdom coming up
knowledge from ancient times
don't know where it's coming from
but I just have to tell
It is like a waterfall
to long hidden inside
now it's time to let it come
to carry out the inside
