State Of Mind

by James Zealy

When State of mind spins
Like a perpetual gyroscope

When a mind thinks clear
And joy pierces voice and eyes

When a spirit bursts forward
As if it were freshly born

When a smile careens wide
In light of darkest days

Then age has no meaning
It is a trifling statistic

Author's Note: An aging body has nothing to do with mental agility.

Yes, the body, trivial matter of flesh and bone vehicle.

You already know I love this one. But I will say it again.I love this. State of Mind is all powerful and knows no boundaries such as aging physicality. A young person can be older than an older person because of a negative state of mind. Personally,I am a young old....my state of mind is still in infancy, lol.That is why I symbolically still have need to suck my thumb. :)
