Poem #34: The World Awhirl

When the globe too rapidly whirls,
shuffle aside and peer within,
retreat somewhere you love,
embrace someone you cherish,
allow your mind to catch up with your body
and sanction your soul to ensnare your mind.
You cannot control the winds
so skillfully manipulate the sails
and steer a course true to yourself.

Dissect the rainbow,
unpeel it hue by hue and layer by layer.
From red to violet, lay aside each band
and reorder the spectrum as you desire.
Then uproot the Rocky Mountains,
invert its majestic snowy peaks
and plug the expansive Grand Canyon.
Contain a cloud within your mind
and exhale a contrail with each breath.
Let your voice fill the universe
with the content of your universal heart.

For all is possible within your mind.
