This land is my mind

Feelings, emotions, and thoughts

Growing and flowing and changing

Seldom ever ascertained

This land was once a lawn

Clean, suburban, and dead

Concrete and grass and dirt

Fearfully kept contained

This land is now a forest

Growing, twisting, and alive

Brambles and thorns and tangles

Helplessly left unrestrained

This land shall be a garden

Tended, grown, and cherished

Flowers and ponds and trees

Mindfully kept maintained
