Dark Humor in December



The wind is naughty,
It fools around with everybody,
Shaking every leaf,
Violent of purpose,
Single-minded in its own force,
and unselective touches of everything before.
.
The mind is a copy cat of that,
It swings back and forth, sideways or backwards,
Undoing what’s given, smothering,
Unmaking in its wake,
Moving forward in light of destruction,
What a hard downpour.
.

  9. That's the nature of the untrained, unregulated mind. Spend some time watching yourself think and that changes.
