Cleansing The Mind

Jayasree

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!

    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.
