Thinking

When the world sleeps,
And all the surrounding noises die down,
My mind begins to wander away

Sometimes it takes me to frightening places,
Where things don't seem to make sense,
But its all a greater purpose I have yet to discover,
I need to listen attentively

Our days are constantly filled with distractions,
They lead us further away from the truth,
Wealth, popularity, and power won't make you happy,
True meaning will

But meaning comes from really listening,
Hearing what your heart truly wants and acting,
Take from this all that you can,
And become what you've always wanted to be

I can relate to this, so much! I know how my mind keeps bouncing from one thought to the other all the time and I can't concentrate on things that are of real purpose! Thanks for sharing the poem! :)
