Adamantine Mind ~ Wednesday, July 19, 2023

In the world, I see
sapphires, rubies, emeralds,
and diamonds untame

nought but these three jewels,
and the invincible mind
I must overcome

trouble to subdue,
this adversary, I find
worthy to vanquish

how this obstacle
becomes my prime opponent
of all the wild game

evinced in spirit
I conquer mind within mind
without argument

welcome evidence
proves my own defeat of self
thus words leave me dumb

opponents as fire,
earth, air, and water leave me
to make my third wish

reflection informs
light within an illusion
language is best mute

lion licks his wounds,
his tongue, coarse as sandpaper,
in the sun, lies spent

diminished fifths play
intervals as aural chimes,
this I must perfect

I hear no difference
in this and augmented fourths,
analyze the score

see not with the eyes,
perceive not with the senses,
what might I detect

evidence unveiled
beyond all these emotions
to death, these horns gore

egos enslaved, bulls
care nothing for the three jewels,
but act as the brute
