The Wanton Mind
It rambles in wants
Raves and haunts
Sprinkles of carnal fun
Many a yarn spun
In circles, it goes
Puts on enticing shows
Rerun after rerun
Old pains redone
A hamster wheel
mind
Will so
easily blind
Our hearts to peace
& endless increase
Be still my soul
Within is whole
Within the lamb
Still, know I am
Diana Dalton was born in
England. She grew up loving the county side which later developed and inspired
her desire to capture those beautiful moments which she does through her
poetry, her spiritual nature and photography. Though not a prolific writer
Diana has had her poems read on Dutch radio, and has been featured in some
American compilations of poetry. She will dabble and challenge herself with
some recognized forms, yet most often, Diana likes the freedom of words and
will take some poetic license even to inventing nonexistent words together with
her husband and fellow poet, Yancy Dalton.
Dear Diana,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this unique poem.
I like the way it ends
in the stillness of the soul.
Blessings,
Michael

I love how this poem turns and whirls in a pleasing flow of rhyme, Diana. Minds are complex, and sometimes can be beyond control, but you know where you stand. Regards // paul
