Tide

22 May 2018

Mental Journey
I see the patterns, feel the tides,
Like millions of grains of sand
Following the slow drifting of a dune
People cast aside their minds
Becoming something they're not
Just to follow the group
Why?

As the moon's relentless pull
Cycles onwards, passing again
Through its many phases,
The constant motion of the tide sets in,
What was once, long forgotten,
A life lost to a character played too long

Why do so many lose themselves?
So much is missed, experiences passed up
By denying yourself on the word of one
Who has long since lost himself,
Find Yourself, live Your life,
Swim against the tide,
Enjoy what you've been missing

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
