The Mind

Root of the matter, what lies beneath

Spade to dig deep, unearthing belief

Till the soul, turn it over and over

Seeding new ideas, letting them take over

Watering the mind, quenching the thirst

Nurturing the spirit, the universe versed

Digging through layers, seeking the truth

Hoeing away doubts, let them fall through

Hardy the heart, strong through the storm

Growing and changing, life's natural form

Picking up the pieces, moving ahead

Flowering in new ways, where once fear led

Fruits of labor, sweet to the taste

Hard work and perseverance, not gone to waste

No longer confined, no longer restrained

Blooming into fullness, forever unchained

Roots, spades, and hoes may be tools of the land

But in the journey of life, they too have a hand

In the growth and transformation of one's own soul

In the journey towards wholeness, towards the ultimate goal.
