Mind Wide Open

by John Barber

Loosen your mind so you never lose it

Consider the choice, you just might choose it

Open it wide and face the truth

An open mind is the fountain of youth

Remember the pain and anguish

Don’t let it fester and languish

Bring it to the forefront of your mind

Let the emotion unwind

Don’t be hindered by limits

Your dreams and fears are exhibits

Keep them fresh in your mind

The dreams will expand and the fear will subside

An unmined mind is a treasure unfound

To know yourself is to know no bound

Fear of the unknown is gradually dispelled

Knowledge is power and anxiety is quelled

Immerse yourself in the memory

Leave time and space for reverie

Follow a scent to a moment in time

Let a song take you to the sublime

See every color in the spectrum of life

Unseen beauty and wonder is rife

Pick up every rock, explore every nook

Life is there if you just choose to look

Push yourself to learn it all

Answer the questioning beck and call

Ask the hard questions of how and why

Your mind gets stronger when you try
