Pedestal Of Mind
Upon the pedestal of mind a soul will look with hope to find A treasure there to keep itself alive and well and off a shelf Where many wayward souls have gone to see themselves safely from harm Unaware the pedestal is only wished when mind is stirred. As is needed when seclusion is itself a made illusion To prepare a place of void where every cheer can be employed Replaced by hopes there to exist outside the mind where it is hid As no mortal hand may take its rightful life for living's sake.
