The Restless Mind Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

I left my brain to consume the sky above
And poetry was born
Insane words came tumbling out of a turbulent mind
Touching and caressing the sky
Words blew out of the depth of my mind's pit
Where the dreams in the shadows
Are a reflection of the illusion that is life
Words tormenting my mind
Looking for a door to escape
A brush to paint life again in a poetic universe
Where dreams and reality are intertwined
Bound together by the searching mind
Ransacking the universe for the meaning of life
