I’m rolling and rolling down to the sea
where everything is just as it seems
because I want to know, indeed I do,
the truth is the truth and not a lie.

Tired, I’m tired, of feeling the lie
with no proof to sustain the view
until years down the line, this life line,
when time decides the time is right.

Not yet is it time and mind back and forth
from heart’s decree to its own confines
that hold it tight and securely in
its very own point of view.

Mind must be right, you know, you know,
because facts are now and forever the truth
and heart, poor heart, simply knocks at the door
locked and bolted. alarmed, monitored.

No matter, no matter, mind knows there’s an end
to that insignificant knock, knock, knock,
because heart, poor heart, too weak and frail
to cut off mind’s security system.

Heart, poor heart, but you know what they say;
“You’re only as poor as you think you are”.

Such a plaintive piece of poetry, Helen, I found myself captivated by these two lines of truth . . .

quote:
Mind must be right, you know, you know,
because facts are now and forever the truth

Aye, the heart is a foolish searcher at times, but it is the heart who suffers most.

It's true in so many ways Helen. Poor old struggling heart. Good words indeed...

This is quite the ending...
"Heart, poor heart, but you know what they say;
“You’re only as poor as you think you are”.
He he I guess all of us have been heart poor at some point in our life.

true love never looks after it's own interests

Just so, dear Helen, you got that right in your concluding lines, But then who can honestly affirm that they have always control over thoughts?

In this domain we are always students!

Well expressed.

Love and joy.
