Member Poem

The mind is an auto-camera. Its pictures are the window to our personality.”
- Thompson Emate

If only you knew the power of the mind,
You would daily activate its use,
You would paint a picture and see it jump out of the portrait,
You would visualize something and see it materialize.

If only you could open the door of the mind,
Allow a free flow of its scripts,
Push beyond its encumbrances,
Then you would understand the mystery of the mind,
You would know the strength of its depth.

Though the night comes to mind,
Though gloom comes to its room,
It can arise from the ashes,
It can reach for the light,
It can soar to great heights.

If only you knew how far the mind can travel in a serene ambience,
If only you knew the potency of the mind in tranquillity,
Then you would seek for such a place,
Then you would strive for such a moment.
