Conflict has parents
Peace is a natural state
Still lake of the mind

Heart is in this Earth
Live spells evil back to front
Not in your right mind

When does spring arrive?
Not with buds or songs of birds
In a hopeful mind

The nature of mind
A mutable consciousness
All in the focus

So now, after all this time
we decide to speak,
when all that water under the bridge
has long turned stagnant and is festering,
fit only for frogs
and other unsuspected creatures:
such are the demons of my mind
