So the  mind itself can go askew

Check the  meaning of what you hear,  perceive
For wild emotion alters the eyes’ view
Interpretation  un-reflected may  deceive

A gift of love can’t always be received.
Some can only give  a gift to you
Check the  sense of what you hear,  perceive

For some of  us, the facts can’t be conceived
We cannot notice anything too new
Interpretation  un-reflected may  deceive

As the wind blows off the autumn leaves
So the  mind itself can go askew
I’ll check the  sense of what I hear,  perceive

So  in the web of life, we interweave
Creating  patterns  from the many hues
Interpretation un-reflected may deceive.

We fear change and thoughts that are unglued
But talk to loved ones,do not merely brood
Check the  meaning of what you hear,  perceive
Interpretation  un-reflected may  deceive
