Babbling

listen to me carefully
the pictures on the wall
are images created
in the mind, that is all

there is to knowing
what we think is out there
are visions in our consciousness,
in the mind, that is where

everything is taking place
every smell and taste
every sound and feeling
is happening as we face

confusing reality,
inside outside blues,
to go within is to begin
to win instead of lose

our grip on
what is going on
to find the only place
where we all belong

thought a distant river
babbling away
floating in our consciousness
for another day...
