A Poppy's Prompt Poem

It is not an easy thing, resetting the mind.

*

Running on autopilot for so long, memories

morph into beliefs, into patterns, into habits,

*

until we see the whole process born of Fate,

rather than forgotten choices. Ego thrives

*

in the drought of ideas, splintering anything

contrary to the norm, using every trick it

*

can muster to keep us in the loop of

barren familiarity. Familiar, yes, but

*

vaguely unsettling: Is this all there is?

Why is there so much pain, so much fear?

*

Questions like darts finding the bullseye,

breaking through the morass of illusion

*

until it occurs the questions are themselves

the key, slowly turning the lock of understanding.

*

Gears painstakingly click back into alignment

with Light, with Consciousness, with Love.

*

It is not an easy thing, resetting the mind.

*

But to find our path to Peace,

there is

no

other

choice.
