Thought Channelizer Poem by Saju Abraham

I’m in a state of my mind;
My mind is a knotted line – a labyrinth.
It is bursting with thoughts.
Make a machine to reign in my mind.
I don’t intent to scale the summit;
No, I can’t route my mind paths
All I want is to move in my backyard,
And yet not lose my way.

You say yoga blanks your mind;
You talk of tabula rasa in your thesis.
My thoughts go haywire, crisscross
And collide with one another,
Causing lightning and thunder.
One thought to another and to scores;
Feels like sun rays piercing the prism,
And breaking into endless paths.

Make me a thought channelizer,
Like a blinder fitted on your horse!
