Your Mind's Ocean Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet
Your Mind's Ocean
Swimming away
swimming away
swimming away yeah
swimming through the deep blue ocean
nothing but red skies ahead
so put on ya hat and sun screen lotion
Feel the wind and waves in motion
Let's go swimming in your mind's ocean
The waters so calm
And the breeze so sweet
No cause for alarm
From my head to my feet
My mind was a cell
Trapped by illusion
Until the rough swell
Destroyed my delusions
Swimming away
swimming away
Swimming away
In your mind's ocean
wake up in the water
before you sink below
For the deeper you go
The darker it grows
so put on ya hat and sun screen lotion
Feel the wind and waves in motion
Let's go swimming in your mind's ocean
Thoughts of doom and no hope
I'll drop them in the ocean's deep
To save my mind when I grope
I'm Dead to the world in this cool sleep
Not a soul in sight
Not a worry in the world
Just the open sea
Where I can simply be
Swimming away
Swimming away
we'll swim all night
And sleep all day
so put on ya hat and sun screen lotion
Feel the wind and waves in motion
Lets go swimming
Lets go Swimming
in your mind's ocean
I really like the idea of the mind as an ocean. People use words like deep and shallow, but you've proved there's much more to it than that with this poem. The word vast springs to mind. Hope to read more of your work soon.
these sound like the lyrics of a song, if you could work out music for it i think it would sound great! if you don't mine, could i try to myself?

allen, i can't claim to understand this poem. i did read it 3 or 4 times, at first trying to understand it and finally just trying to enjoy the sound of it. i like the repetition of phrases and the change in rhyming words paired with operation. i think maybe you wrote it while in YOUR mind's ocean, so it seems a bit dreamlike; and i don't claim to understand dreams either! did you mean to write dropp [sic] or drop? thanks for sharing and thanks for your latest comment. bri
