Gone Fishin'

Gone Fishin’


Oh, not having a mind.
Now there’s a dream.
Or at least a mind on pause
so my feelings can emote in peace,
without mind interrupting
with judgements, opinions and suppressions.
Or at least a mind vacation 
so my body can enjoy in joy 
without mind blabbing about plans, projections and permissions.
Or at least a mind gone fishin’  
So my soul can be  
in peace.
