Mind


Proverbs 19:21 

21 There are many plans in a person’s mind,
but it is the counsel of the Lord which will stand.

 

 

Mind.

 

Chain-reactions through the mind

ignoring its own limitations.

Never admitting its own kind

not to comprehend outside its station.

 

Unconscious then ... incompetence shows

as the mind cannot perceive it.

Awareness nill as progress flows

so the mind cannot believe it.

 

Being made aware ... that things are there

though they appear like an illusion.

Repeat these oft ... till the mind get soft

and consciously will absorb it.

 

It cannot admit ... that it does not fit

in its fullness of perception.

But after a while  ... it completes its file

and with comfort ... it will claim it.
