The other mind

Rhythmic poetry echoes our own rhythms

The way the heart beats and the flow of blood.

Music is biology at play

The joy of being alive is well and good

There is no no need for willpower and its strains

Does the River have to push itself?

Does the tide need training who could tell?

Imitating these is poetrys stealth.

Overwork is easy but it’s wrong.

Distracks us from the pain of life and death

Both can come together in a song

Let your mind be vacant till you find

The evidence that there is another mind

      1. Thank you so much David. You are a great encouragement to me to keep going because sometimes I wonder what I am doing and whether it’s worthwhile. I think it is and it’s wonderful to meet other people like yourself.
        I don’t like Stephen king’s novels but I like Stephen king himself a lot because I read his book called on writing and I admire him profoundly. I wonder what you think of him?
