The rivers of my mind washed thoughts away,
scouring new realms to drive beauty to the fore.
There banks gave way to expose more history,
layer on layer, years of knowledge unravelled
Listen if you will there is a song being sung,
old songs of wayward peoples that walked.
Banks gave way showing people things,
broken dishes, and cups, just life hidden there.
Yet the people knew that in showing the old,
a new life could be felt and there revived.
Feelings washed clean as a mixture of years,
falling to the grasp of new waters, singing a dream.
Teach me to sort the feelings, to filter past woes,
show me the natural colours of the things I built.
Let new waters of the mind run free with my ways,
I look forward to the rapids, that invigorate and refresh.
Let my thoughts flow to the open arms of the Ocean,
there I can be at peace once more, to dwell within.
There inside that feeling of being refreshed and whole,
can again take over the running of my wayward soul.

You look after you and stop eating bad things.
