Mind and Water

The glass of water is turbid
Set it aside awhile
Till the mud settles in a while
The mud shall settle
Then shall light pass through

The mind full of thoughts too is turbid
Set it aside
Watch it awhile
Thoughts float away
The Light within
Shines through

CRASH

Its was just a movie
A mundane ordinary movie
With not so great a language to it
Yet it spoke—

Its of people and situations
Reactions and responses
Sometimes good
Sometimes bad

The woman molested by a white man
Found to her horror he was the only man
To save her from a car crash
To let him pull her out or not
To decide in a matter of seconds
As gasoline drips
And a fire rages

Her mind entrenched in the past screams
“No don’t touch me”
Reality of the present strikes
and she lets him save her

To me it was
About impressions
And judgements
That cloud the mind
Once entrenched in the past
Can erase the present
Turn the future non-existent too.

Truth extra-ordinary
from something as mundane
As a movie so ordinary

As usual
Catches me unawares
Yet again
Yet again.
