Mind Circle



Mind Circle

New pleasurable feelings sewed with emotion is a gift to youth
Recapturing those idyllic treasures is age’s yearning for truth
For we want that couth innocence
Combating cynicism and being jaded to avoid nihilism’s influence

But it’s gone and we’ve only memories
Logic and reason have become the dominant realities
Alas, curiously, humanity prefers faerie tales and lies
Lost in belief, whimsy and imaginary stories

Light becomes hard, reflecting edges and casting shadows
Eternity begins to creep into focus
Some see it early on while others much later
This shock about existence drives deep into the subconscious

No escape is the curse, turned into a blessing by religion
You’ll exist forever’s the attempt to recapture youth’s gift’s fervor
But the tap of reason in the subconscious exposes that treason
And the reach for illusion becomes the sought after addiction
