My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Sometimes my mind spends most of the time replaying,
creating and taunting with ideas that worry,
ideas that cause scurry, ideas that wander and whine.

Instead of thinking on what isn't sinking.
Instead of pondering what is fine.
Instead of focusing on what is present,
what is pleasant and what is kind.

Sometimes my mind likes to wander to places
that are dark and cold.
Taking me to places with unfriendly faces.
The places where defense is gold.

Instead of thinking on what is today.
Instead of cherishing what I hold.
Instead of drawing attention to beauty,
to what is sweet and bold.

Sometimes I think I need to stop and think of things that
matter, that last beyond the temporal soil.
Sometimes I know I need to want what I have,
Not what I think should be my goal.

Instead of focusing on wants and what ifs.
Instead of reaching to remotes.
What if I looked at what I have,
what I possess, and present
a treasure untold?
