Meditation Blues

My mind is troubled by thoughts from the past
My mind is cycling on love that didn’t last

My mind is working when I try to relax
My mind is thinking till the wee hours have passed

My mind keeps reeling and waning and waxing
My mind keeps time from night time to day

My mind hears words keeps talking keeps seeing
My mind keeps is drifting all every which way

My mind keeps wandering keeps drifting keeps sifting
My mind keeps playing the scenes from my past

My mind keeps worrying keeps scurrying keeps trying with hurrying
My mind keeps shifting from forward to back

My mind keeps repeating repeating repeating repeating repeating
My whole life away
