Your Mind Can Take You There

Energy never dies, only transforms.
Are we able to perceive energy around us other than what we have within us? Most people don’t, but those how do can discover entire new worlds, realities and parallel universes! The ancient sages up there in the Himalayas have achieved it with the help of heightened consciousness that connects one with ones natural psychic power to transcend time and space, explore the past, access the future, and view remote events or places in the present. That’s mind travel for you. Possible? Maybe. I wouldn’t know but it seems to be a wonderful relaxation tool when boredom brings your life to grinding halt.
Come, sit, fasten your seat-belt and read with me. Slip into my poem and travel my mind’s journey.

Out here in the big city

Through the litwindows I see

People busy about their homes

Finishing up for the day.

People busy living lives

Monotonously sore

Caught too in this snare

Mine no better than theirs.

My heart flies off

To far distant lands

To the deepest blue oceans

Where no one ever wanders.

Picture myself in a valley

The Valley of Flowers

Lie down among the purple

And look up at puffyclouds.

Spreading beauty and perfumes

Dazzling with intense colours

Flowers have short lives

And mine so painfully long.

Then I am on the ocean

Rocked gently by the swell

Above the orangeskies open

Till the stars begin to parade.

I feel the depth and vastness

Silvermoonlight’s silky caress

Whales and plankton under me

I too swim wild and free.

I leave for the snowy mountains

Its chillness holds me close

Smell of pine trees and freshness

I fill up with warm happiness.

Sound of tweeting birds

Butterflies flirting by

Dwarfed by the mountains

In unison with nature, I merge.

Jolted back to the city

I let my head hit the pillow

Got to catch some shut-eye

Or else be lost tomorrow.

Morning rush is maddening

Breakfast on the table

Got to hustle to the office

Before the boss gets there.
