Mind Obesity

In the labyrinth of his mind he wandered.
A man with thoughts as heavy as lead.
His brain, swollen with ideas and musings
became an obese repository of dreams.

Each thought a bloated morsel.
Lodged in the crevices of his consciousness.
He carried them like stones in his pockets.
Their weight pulling him deeper into solitude.

But one day, a butterfly fluttered by.
Its delicate wings a whisper of grace.
It danced upon his mental clutter.
A reminder of weightlessness and flight.

The man watched entranced.
As the butterfly alighted on a thought.
With gentle touch it lifted the burden
and that idea soared, unencumbered.

He envied the butterfly’s simplicity.
Its ability to float above the noise.
Could he become as weightless?
Would it be as those fragile wings?

His mind transformed as a chrysalis.
Releasing old beliefs, shedding excess.
He became the buoyant ethereal man.
So his mind took a butterfly’s flight.
