A flash of brilliance
Such dazzling radiance
A stunning moment
Just a brief torment
Ah, a soothing darkness!
Creeping confusing blackness
Shutter up, shutter down
Sometimes a laugh, sometimes a frown
An open window
So easy to let go
A closed door
Pieces of heart on the floor
Like a puppet
A fish in a net
A bouncing ball
Sometimes a flight, sometimes a fall
Crowd and chaos outside
Chatter and confusion inside
Lots of excitement and thrill
Uneasiness and sadness remain still
Search for calm and peacefulness
Seeking the ever elusive happiness
Way out of the maze of senses
Away from the fake and pretenses
Master the mind, master the world
Wise men have repeatedly told
Unlock the mysteries of the mind
Manage the thoughts, feelings and unwind
Look within, open the inner eye
Remove the blocks, aim high
Balance and moderation is the key
Unfold, untangle and be free!
