Be Your Own Constant

Ranjan sagar  (India)

A spinning top of endless thought, my mind races never caught.

Each worry a tiny fragile threed.

Weaving a web through out

My head.

The past repeats, a ghostly hum

Future anxieties became.

A constant state of what starts.

Tearing my very soul apart.

I seek heaven, calm sea but the storm within won't let me be.

The gears grind on, a restless grind, Leaving me far behind

In time so i must learn to let it be.

To trust the journey wild and free.

To find the peace within my soul

And break the chains that hold me whole.

A shadow grows a creeping vine

Where bad habits take their hold

A silent thief, they rob the soul, a story to be told.

Through murky depths they pull us down a spiral without end.

Each little act a crushing crown

That makes us descend.

The body aches the spirit cries

With every careless dead.

A weary geze reflecting lies, a planted bitter seed.

Self doubt and fear a constant plight as shadows start to loom

Dimming the dawn and fading light a growing, empty gloom.

The mind is lost a tangled maze with thoughts both dark and deep where truth is lost in hazy ways and promises to keep.
