fvkery Mind ( 100 Days of Poetry ) { Day # 85 }

in #poetry6 years ago (edited)

Overthinking can leave us feeling overwhelmed.
Sometimes it gets the best of us.
Don't give into the fvery mind.


So many things to be done
in this modern day living,
it can seem overwhelming,
like time is flying away,
refusing to be tamed like parakeets.

The anxiety of this society
hovers in the air,
thick as clouds about to birth rain.
It causes pain and disillusion.
Orchestrated confusion.
Overthinking can ride the mind
like a none paying passenger,
if you only knew,
you'd leave them by the roadside.

The rivers are calm to the beholder,
to others it is just mud water
with stones & tadpoles.
So too is the stream of life.
Mental channels, views, skew
how we perceive and weave
through every moment.
Relax and detach
from the fvkery mind.

Yeah, you have to learn to step back sometimes and listen to that still voice. Good one man.

Indeed , a lot of rush rush in this society especially here. have to learn to tek it easy. Bless up

The "current of life" does not drag everyone, the thing is where? That will depend on who you drag. Each one decides what to do downstream or the water current decides for him. If he is the only one who decides, he takes the risks and their consequences, rewards or smacks. If it is the current, who decides, you can suseder anything, there will be no more control than the capricious current, it can take a good shore, it can stagnate, it can get dirty and even kill you, if the channel pulls. But still, it's always worth swimming in its waters.
Good work, poet! A hug!

Thank you for that hearty comment. Indeed the current of life does pull, we have to observe and take in what we can and use it as the stream flows to the sea with Poseidon :)
I liked how how explained that, and that word I did't know " suseder"
Lt us continue to swim and expect the current to favor us so we can perceive how to maneuver best way possible.

There's a compromise here between escaping the stress of society, competition, and duties to take refuge in Nature where everything makes sense, and keeping up with the challenges of civilization and surviving it.

Yes, we need breaks from time to time, but in my opinion, society is inescapable nowadays, at least not permanently.

Thans for your comment man, much appreciated. I feel even a walk can bring us that inner piece sometimes the imagination too.

I try to find a little time every day to take a walk out near to some form of nature. It really does make a huge difference for me. If not i imagine a wonderful scenery from the memory banks:)
