Mind Journey Poem by Carmela Patterson

In exploring the expansions of my mind
my imagination runs away with me
and I can see a panorama, a vista of possibilities;
I want to run with the music of the wind in my hair
toward the far horizon that appears in my mind's eye.

Limitless are the labyrinths of my passage
through eternal time always changing, always moving
toward the hope of a new day and a new way.
Mental challenges and journeys are growth producing
expanding understanding and bridging old and new thresholds

Reining in my mind is not easy when it speeds toward an ethereal goal
which must be tamed but not without huge and great difficulty.
It can be understood how a mind could lose its' way and be lost
in the intensity of the battle but with an eye on temperance, moderation,
patience, perseverance, I can gain control and grow.
