The Mind
The magic of the mind,
The endearing charm of the imagination,
The highest skies a man can fly,
The figment of the imagination,
Boundless and limitless,
Home to the ancestors,
Ancestors of every action,
Forbears of every tomorrow,
Need no flight to go there,
Not a distant country,
Great escape from now,
Can meet and experience the future,
Catch a glimpse of heaven or hell,
Each one at a time,
Detach from reality,
Delude oneself in the opium of folly,
Until cruel reality strikes again.
