Poems

Missing Your Mind

A good mind is a great wealth,
more wonderous than mysticism,
more your own than skin.

You may enter it, find your way in,
hide in it, get lost therein,
struggle to share it, or joyfully give its fruits away.

It is yours but it may surprise you,
when you suffer it may scoff.
It is yours but it is not you.

You may miss it.
