When I Am Pondering

When I Am Pondering

If my thoughts are driving,
for meaning I am striving.
Somewhere within my mind
are all the answers to find.

And on my mind is the thought
we know more than we're taught.
Our collective unconscious mind
is not a socio-spiritual bind,
it is a complex, wondrous prize.
We need but try it on for size
to understand roots of pleasure.
Achieving conscience is treasure.

Attempting old ideas, old wisdom,
tempers the new ideas to come.
If new ideas won't leave me alone,
I try allowing mind set the tone
instead of my own calculating.
It is wisdom I am baiting.
I want everything good of life,
without being lost in ego strife.

Whenever I need, I let mind roam.
I want to build a heavenly home.
Can we be as wise as smart?
Why stop thinking once we start?
