Right Brain

Loosed from my left brain
Floating in right train
Of pensive, roving thought.
Enter the innerworld
Prism-ed and beauty swirled,
Invited yet unsought.

Living in poetry
Immortal harmony
Unspoke, unheard, unsung,
Never recorded be
Lingering infinitely,
Ne’er ending, ne’er begun.

Climb into someone’s mind
Explore their eyes, unwind
The weaving of their world.
See life just as they see;
Feelings unknown to me,
Unfettered and unfurled.

Pour out a swig of sleep
So drowsy eyes will keep
Locked in freedom’s cage.
Unharried, drift about,
Never lost, wandering out
Of painting, picture, page.

Don’t try to capture it,
Left brain will mangle it
With intense perfection.
Kiss it, let freely roam,
Nevermore to drag it home,
In traitorous defection.

Embrace the present tense,
Immersed in every sense
Mingle, ebb, and swell
Deeper than thought can go
Impressions speak and flow
Sages’ secrets tell.
