The mechanisms of this machine don't always make sense.
They are quiet, unassuming and hopeful.
You can see your dreams and escape your nightmares.
It is a busy machine, the parts well maintained.

Innovations for the future can be found here.
The courage to endure multitudes of pain lies here.
If it ever breaks down, we are lost.
Like a circuit board, every component has a vital function.

The solitude you seek can be nourished here.
It is like a computer, but much more powerful.
We need it to do all the things we don't notice.
We sometimes take it for granted, to our cost.

Its advantages are limitless, its spirit ever vibrant.
When we are low, it can energise us.
When all is well, it can sustain us.
We use it all the time, without even knowing.

You might be wonderig what I'm talking about.
Something tells me you already know.
You have the tools to solve this mystery.
Like any other enigma, the solution lies within.

I like that, that's really funny! The poem is actually about the mind and how it can make or break us as human beings. I hope that clarifies things a bit for you.

This is a brand new piece which I wrote late last night.
It pretty much speaks for itself. I hope you enjoy it!
