Mentēs

Free Verse By Douglas Colston

(Mind, intellect, reasoning, conscience, disposition, thought and intention)
Sound, healthy, and undivided existence?
 
Your land, earth and ground –
humanities’ source and origin.
 
Being?
 
You grow from 'good', 'advantage', 'blessings' and 'boon' …
the embrace (and fodder) people also utilize
to complete, fulfill, accomplish and satisfy.
 
Wherever there is slavish heeding or yielding to others
against or in favor of meats, fruits, the body or lusts,
there is also validation of fear and trembling.
