My Mind is a Jungle that You’re Always Exploring

My mind is a jungle that you’re always exploring
You go up and down the branches of thoughts
And swing on the vines of emotions
You pick hopes from their stems without a care in the world
And seek shade in leaves of my confusion
A stream of hurt you come across
And guzzle the tears
Now where the stream used to flow
The earth is numb and dry
Things are growing down in the dirt below.
They’re dreams and a future beginning to sprout
But you walk straight through this path
And leave them pulverized in your tracks
You’re journey is not at its end
There’s so much more to enjoy
The sun is slipping between the trees
And warms you completely down to your soul
You find a connection in the songs the birds are singing
And the constant humming of the bees bring you consolation
A path can take you to the end of the jungle
Where a beach is found and a raft above the sand
You could leave this island and never return
To leave it to heal and grow on it’s own
But you like to dwell in this jungle.
You like to be a part of its nature
You won’t leave it, not for a minute
Because in your heart you believe you can’t live without it
