A satirical poem of unbarring, mind, and perilous, pressing wit, absurdity and refusal against the world.
February 9, 2004Early Notebooks
They say unbarring the mind is a perilous thing,
unlocking thoughts that sharp edges bring.
But far worse, they whisper, is the fate of the soul,
a mystery far deeper, elusive and whole.
For it is known, yet remains unknown,
an entity hidden, a world all its own.
The soul, a shadow that dances and weaves,
with secrets it holds, yet never believes.
What lies beneath the surface of self?
A labyrinth unseen, a forgotten wealth.
Far more dangerous than a mind set free—
is the soul’s untamed, boundless sea.
So tread with caution when you dare explore,
the depths of the spirit, an uncharted shore.
For in knowing too much, we might just find
the shadows that lurk in the depths of our mind.
