Rooms of the Mind

The mind is a house.


A house with many rooms,

Rooms of all shapes, sizes and colours,

Rooms in continual renovation and adaption.


A house of many items,

Items valuable, of great beauty and history, treasured up safely for generations to come,

Items valueless, useless, discarded, disorganized, collecting dust in the basement.


A house with two windows,

Windows with open curtains, the inhabitants ever anxious to see the world,

Windows with one-way glass, the interior shrouded in mystery.


A house of activity,

Continually busy, rushing, rejoicing, never at ease,

Quite from the outside, solemn, placid, tranquil.


A house of contrasts,

Solid, sturdy, simple, like all others,

Restless, shaky, complex, unique in every way.


An exclusive, other-worldy place, precluding outsiders, it’s inhabitants hermitic,

On a rare moment, a split of time, the door is opened and you catch a glimp,

Watch carefully, it might be your only chance.
