Let it be

 

What does it mean to free one’s mind?

To truly let it go,

no more burdens, thoughts unclear,

finally free to grow.

How we limit ourselves, our minds

With guilt, worry and fear.

Here’s a tangible solution,

the answer is quite clear.

Now open the doors to your mind

and let it just run free.

At first it will run oh so wild,

relax and let it be.

As time runs on, it will run down

and rest contentedly

A mind is like a beast of sorts,

it truly must be free

So sit back and relax my friend.

Just try and let it be.

Understanding comes from trying.

Trust me, you wait and see.

Most excellent thoughts, Melody..Finding freedom can be complex because it is not always as it seems. Don't wish to taint the positiveness of an inspirational message in your fine poem. as your words say it all...Thanks for a great read to start my day...

The thought is cool, even philosophical, the music fits extremely well with the text, but if you allow me to be honest ... I can't feel it as a poem ! For me it looks like a sophisticated yoga trainer's guide, sorry :(

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

lol! Your funny, I like your description of what it looks like to you. Never tried yoga so wouldn't know. Poetry is brood and varied. Each speaks to everyone differently. Thank you for your honesty...now that I admire!

Please don't hate me for that ! I hate to point bad aspects :(

I am never offended my friend, Your opinion is your voice and when spoken should never be regretted. Never lose your voice, always keep an open mind...and don't worry about the rest ;) I love your honesty...I mean that when I say it. No worries;)

[Kimberly "Melody" Carney]

and by the way, if we get offended by pure honesty...we shouldn't be on this site. I loved your review fyi!

Great flow in this poem. Interesting imagery for the topic of letting the mind run free. This is a unique piece, while there have been many poems about freeing you mind I can't recall one that was done like this. Good write.

You are exactly right with this poems, and such a lovely way to tell people to cast their worries aside and like the mind free. Great job. 100/100

very well said! the mind is one thing that can make your life either beautiful or ugly.. just let it go free and it will make your life free of all the bindings.

Very good. I like the way this illustrates letting go of the chains that bind us.

Good thoughts are being expressed by your poem. You have rose-up deep meaning here. I liked the tile of this poem.

Tremendous! the music goes with it superbly. Well done.

[Sagar Waingankar]

Excellent piece of art! It flowed rhythmic just like the music of 'Clocks'! It's true, it's a fact! It's self, it's all that occurs to be current!

Your details of the mind are so clever and...spot on I guess is what I want to say. O_O But even after saying that I cannot impress upon you how much I enjoyed reading this.
