TOWARD DELIGHT

I've both a sub- and supra-conscious mind.
The first’s for hiding things to which I’m blind:
My guilty motives and my secret dreams,
The knots and twists of my neurotic themes.

The second is a saner consciousness,
A plane where spirit guides sometimes may bless
Me with their messages and nudge me toward
What brings my jangled mind to new accord.

I aim to learn how better to induce
That higher energy and put to use
What intuitions flow from such a source,
Helping me chart the rest of my life’s course.

The only way I know’s to sit and write,
Which always brings both insight and delight.
