The Human Mind

It’s broader than Earth’s range

And deeper than the sea

And much farther out the galaxy

Yet it’s so limited and slight

Except what it beholds

It builds walls and the highest peaks

And carries capacity beyond our world, 

Essentially unlimited

It sustains lives and creates it too

It soaks and drains like a sponge

So much time spent using it

Yet it’s not ultimately understood

There's too much to think about

So powerful, yet so fragile

The most complex matter 

Yet no two are the same

It dictates the world, our actions

So much to describe, to explain

In spite of the fact that there's still more undiscovered, 

Undiscovered of what it’s capable of


The author's comments:

The human mind is phenomenally insane to think about. And there is so much more that we don’t already know about the dense noodle we all carry around with us for a lifetime. My inspiration came from my urge to get it out there that the brain is one of our most prized possessions and there’s still so much we don’t know we can do with it. It truly is amazing and inspiring. I chose to write it in Ode form because my topic is too detailed to confine it into simple words to fit a meter.
