Open Your Mind

Why do we place boundaries, enclose, tie up and bind,
the magnificent, indescribable capabilities of our mind.

Do we feel a little more secure in the knowledge that we can be,
accepted, and get along if we float in the shallow end of the sea.

“No-one is swimming in the deep ocean, so I must resist,
And if I turn away, it is as if it does not even exist.

But what if you swam a little further, and looked at far ahead.
Your mind would open like a flower, your feet could leave the safe sea-bed.

You start to swim down now, though there seems to be no floor,
When you think you find the end, it just goes deeper, more and more.

You mind can see no limits, no land ahead, no sky above,
Pressing down as if to say “you already know quite enough”.

Swim back up, and as you reach the top and have a look around.
You start to ask questions about ideas, that are intelligent and profound.

‘What is the sound of a smile’, and ‘How can I catch a star’,
‘How can I send hope and love to people near and far’.

These questions lead to answers, which you will look for and successfully find,
Because you left the shore, swam in the ocean and opened up you mind.

Treat your mind as a new career venture, with this mind there is nothing you cannot do,
Read the sign on your mind, it reads:
“under new management, and ready to make your dreams come true”.
