Incense upon the Mind

 The smoke rises and falls like a rollercoaster across the smooth lake

The smoke swirls in unknown figures and languages

But somewhere, deep inside everyone’s soul we all know what each swirl says

Deep down we know the peace of each swirl of the incense smoke

It whispers in unheard words across the very hand of the medicine man

Close your eyes, he says

Let the sent of the incense expand the mind be hind that door within your mind

Let it break every barrier those around you force upon your mind

Break through that wall you have been forced to know is there

They want you to think the other side brings sadness and death

They say this because they’re afraid to find out that they’re not even welcome there

They know of their narrow mindedness

They know of all their painful words inflicted upon the young

Racism

Rationalism

Communism

Satanism

Anarchism

Money feed for that pig they put upon a pedestal as it teaches these hypocrisies

Deathly words within the mind of everyone’s mind

When we could all break apart that grey wall and go to the other side

We can break through if we stay together

Find that pool of love where the smoke dances with infancy and joy within each heart

Let that incense smoke carry you across that brick wall

Away from the pain force upon every heart of gold

Fly away with that smoke as it whispers to you in that unknown language

That language only our soul can understand

That peace through your mind

Only you can find that key to peace within your mind

Through that locked door just waiting to be opened within

On through to the other side to eternity

Find it through this door, says the medicine man

And you will know you have found your love

Your peace you’ve been waiting for all you’re all your painful life

The incense knows.
