Patience

Have you noticed that the closer you are to your destination,
the lesser patience you have in your journey towards it !

Fickleness of the mind

Forever a search... for the promised land
You believe you can build with your own hand
On and on it stretches... enough
but you will never care
For the fickleness of the mind
is beyond compare

A moment in the present
the mind does not want
The next moment is 
What will always count

So it runs and runs oh so hard
Towards the lovely sunset
that it so wants
But the sun never sets
on the canvas of the mind
And so my dear friends 
It's a dreadful sight...
To watch your friend turn
into your foe
And cause you oh...
never ending woe

If you think you have
kept your foe in check
Forgive me for saying
but it's only a trick
