If you were to lose your mind?
A poem by Anna Atsu
Thoughts, a playful breeze,
Whispers through neurones,
Rustling trees.
???
If you were to lose your mind one day,
Where would it wonder, what would it say?
Would it dance with dreams, a wild ballet,
Or sail on memories, in a mind’s array?
Perhaps it would hide in the folds of time,
A puzzle of thoughts
A lyrical rhyme
Of cognition,
Limbic mind.
??
Lost in the echoes of a forgotten tune,
Your mind, a ballon, floating to the moon.
But fear not, dear friend,
For a remedy’s nearby,
A potion of words,
In the rational mind.
Take a walk,
Bargain with reason,
Make it your goal.
Gather the fragments,
The fragments of wit,
Mind’s jigsaw puzzle,
Piece by bit.
?
If you were to lose your mind, my dear,
Find it in laughter, dispel every fear.
And just in case,
Never mind, please
For the unexpected anomaly,
Purchase mind insurance,
A policy in comedy.
Reminded life’s a circus,
A carnival so grand,
Guard your sanity
With a whimsical stand.
