When exploring thoughts occur
Bring passions which explode across your mind
Bringing your full attention ...to chart a different course
Convert the question to a point further away
Extending your reach beyond your know
Take time, unleash a probe ...along a different line
Why must you question the need ...just plant the seed
The growth rings of the idea ...tempts fate
Brings changes ...as if blind discovery
Makes a full recovery ...possible
Although it may fall beyond reach today
It may bear fruit ...tomorrow
Even so, you may find
Resistance to the course of choices
Which may be seen ...as worthless dreams
Or a complete pointless wasting ...of resources
Like those whose lives fly so straight and narrow
As spirits of ancestors give silent testimony
Not only do they fail to smell the roses
They seem to think it’s wasting time
Even listening to those voices
So factual ...untactical
Because the gift
Of an expanding mind
Works overtime to find new choices
And in an ever changing world that drifts
How do you catch the bird ...which flies to flee
You hit it with a tree ...or rather a narrow piece of wood
Brought to a narrow point ...we call an arrow
All said... some clever folk agree
Why constipate your mind
Relax awhile ...just
Set it free
