Self Help Through Writing. Poem by Wojja Fink

Expressing words in a meaningful way
Can uncloud the mind in a miraculous way
As all the dross gets cast away
In the light of the Self it’s a beautiful day.

The mind can go crazy round all kinds of bends
Thinking up thoughts with no meanings or ends
Dreaming all day of mistakes and amends
Like a joke that goes wrong when out to impress friends.


We’ve all made mistakes and all told a lie
And a brave soul it is who can recognize why
We can all see the mote in our brother’s eye
When he say’s it’s the truth but knows its all pie


And when we stop dreaming that nobody knows
The light in the mind you can’t stop it just grows
And the days return happy as when in our youth
For it’s only inside where you uncover the truth.
