I have an over-active

An over-active mind

I wish it would go stop itself

Go stop and just unwind

Tick Tock Tick Tock

Unwind to where it started

Adjust it’s tick and tock

Back to where I want it

Want my neural clock

Tick Tock Tick Tock

To me this isn’t normal

A normal thinking mind

One who thinks his mind is like

A neuron-clockish kind

Tick   Tock   Tick   Tock

Thank God my mind you’re slowing

Slowing your tick, your tock

Now I can relax a bit

Relax a bit. Take stock

Tick     Tock     Tick     Tock

    This is a great one, and probably one that most of us can relate to as well. Have a wonderful weekend, slow that mind to neutral and enjoy nature. Hugs, Joni
