Sleeping Mind
SURELY YOU WILL FIND IN TIME
YOU WAS DEALING WITH A SLEEPING MIND
STIMULATING IT TO WAKE
ITS ABUNDDANT GREATNESS I WILL PERTAKE
ALL THE TALENT I POSSESSED I NEVER KNEW
MY MIND WAS DORMANT BUT STILL IT GREW
THE SAME HAND I USE TO DRAW PAINT AND WRITE
THE MIND USE TO SHOW ME ITS INNERSIGHT
WITH EVERY DREAM I THINK OF YET I GROW
SADLY, DREAMS YOU STIMULATED YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
I HAVE A FEAR THAT RUNS OH SO VERY DEEP
GOD PLEASE DON’T LET MY MIND FALL FOREVER ASLEEP
I TREMBLE WITH CREATIVEITY WHEN IT’S FULLY AWAKE
I NEVER KNOW WHAT DIRECTION OF ART IT WILL TAKE
THEN IT DOSES OFF AND I SIT IN AWE AT ITS MIGHT
I LOOK AT WHAT IT’S DONE AND KNOW THAT IT’S RIGHT
I WARN YOU TO BE CAREFUL IN TIME YOU WILL FIND
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PLAY WITH A SLEEPING MIND
