Wasteland Mind

---

We know that happiness Is all a state of mind. Fly a kite You yearn to break free Scream in a wasteland While this universe still turns to ash Kick your feet in the sand And jump over the horizon. The cosmic rays of the sun Beat down on your brain. Smile, like a fool In the desert and the swamp Hear the heartbeats of the mosquitoes Speak a thousand words Blood loss from the point of a cactus Won't bring you back around Not this time, not this note, Not this sound. Play your cards right And you might find yourself.

This is really interestingly done...and those are often the better ones. I like your choice of words more than anything, but I am the type of writer who uses as many rare and unusual words as possible. I like the fact that this was short, it gives it power. Our minds are all kind of wastelands, aren't they? Creative concept...

Your author's note is why I decided to read this (and yes, it does). I'll keep it short and sweet: The different lines don't really seem connected, and some seem like they shouldn't be split up they way they are (ex: lines 11-14). I love "Hear the heartbeats of the mosquitoes Speak a thousand words." It's very original. I'll have to agree with CG. You probably could have made this flow better. +r

Oooo... I like the close. Somehow it brings it all together. Isn't that exactly what "finding" yourself is like? And to begin the way you do then take us through this geological mind field... wonderfully done. Wish I could be more "critical" but I've said my (peace) piece. a
