Am I My Mind? Or My Mind Me? For Ivor. E. Hogg Poem by C. P. Sharma

Am I My Mind? Or My Mind Me? For Ivor. E. Hogg

Rating: 3.1


Mind wanders all around,
It never needs a ground;
Its nature defies control,
It’s used to rock and roll.

When it finds the fertile ground,
It takes you on merry-go-round;
All impossible looks so possible,
You feel all in life is Rosabelle.

It is the apple of all discord,
It makes people draw sword;
Into abysmal hell it throws,
You bear barbaric blows.

Like cowards everyday I die,
And in infernal fire I fry;
And the parting pain we feel,
It deems life a difficult deal.

I am not mind nor mind me,
Mind plays see-saw with the sea.
Ultimately the heart consoles,
Eternal rest-house is the soul;

however much we may talk of mind, it's just an allusive phenomena...what we knw of is our brain in it's physical form. mind? as vast as the sky and as unreachable and unfathomable!

we identify with our mind, which just takes us on a roller coaster ride. by its very nature it defies control. going inwards to discover our true nature is the eternal quest. a deeply spiritual poem, though written in a lighter vein. Mamta

the mind is free like a kite and the conscious is the string that keeps you grounded. yes anything is possible if you can truly cut the string!

A delightful poem. I do enjoy poems that make the reader think. Am I my mind or is my mind me, Or has it a seperate identity? Perhaps a device not part of man or soul, A font of knowledge to make me whole. Irene
