The Mind

As I now write my thorn, I am forced to admit how the maniacal mind can turn so completely in either direction upon the thinnest details - details that can seem so unimportant in the light of the devastating effect they can have upon those who suffer as I do. One minute you can be in happy land, and next, plunge a thousand feet downward into the belly of the beast. Contrapuntal indeed can be the music produced upon the violin of the inner mind - sometimes a jig, sometimes the blues. 

Prisoners fight depression, with both hands cuffed behind their back.

Except from my book, "A Poet Dreams" (page 28)

Peace be with you, Mayor Mark
