Mind bogged down
with emotional baggage
seeped in the aftermath of
disquieting thoughts,
thoughts which glow like embers,
despair clouding the mind,
a mind restless
searching for a safe haven,
mind drowned in a sea of emotions
trying to anchor itself.
A mind sad and lost
and everything seems
gloomy and dark...
Close your eyes,
meditate and fill it with
all things beautiful in this world!
plough the mind,
ridding it of all things bad,
Pluck out the
weeds of discontent and hatred,
plant the seeds of
good and happy thoughts,
nurture it
and watch the miracle garden
of happy thoughts bloom,
filling you with happiness..
Cleanse your mind
like you cleanse your body!

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this when I was feeling a bit down, I try to be cheerful and happy always, but some days get you down. If this helps someone to overcome their despair, I will be happy and grateful.

We all have 'down' times but they do not last long if you just look at the good things in our lives, they far outweigh the bad.

I believe you are right, Jay. Has to be worked at though. Your little guide would certainly help.
