Sea of the Mind

Or... hold on tight.

“It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.” Leon Brown

The mind, a storm-tossed sea where waves of thought
Crash, churn, and foam—a constant, restless fight.
Emotions surge, like tides, unheeded, fraught
With wreckage of desire and fear's dark night.

To stand upon this shore, unmoved, unbowed,
No puppet to the whims of fleeting will,
This, brother, is an art, a path endowed
With power, hard-won, a summit to fulfill.
