Sense & Mind

Like my tongue to taste
Like my nose to smell
As my eyes to sight
And my ears to sound
So too, it seems
Is my mind to thought

Ideas flood in, and
Conversations begin with
Words and emotions
Rolling on waves
In and out
My mind, a net
Large, half-mangled
Twisting-turning, now
With concern and doubt
And, grand schemes
And, all variety
Of practical things

Like my tongue to taste
Like my nose to smell
As my eyes to sight
And my ears to sound
So too, it seems
Is my mind to thought

As if
Swimming in a sea
Of conscious being
Gulping its waters
And, whatever they bring
