Tethered To My Mind

zen

I tightened my grip, and I lost control,

my mind is spinning, and that's all I know.

I need time to wrap my head around things,

to just listen in as the blue bird sings.

Take away the filter on my camera,

I wish to see what life is full of.

The control I sought was pointless,

it won't let me discover what life is.

If I try to change what is fated,

my efforts would then be wasted.

If I don't want my world to crumble,

I should allow myself to live more humble.

If I want this world to be filled with love,

I must first know what love is made of.

I will hold onto what is dearest,

my vision will then be at its clearest.

If any problem should arise,

I will calmly bring it down to size.
