Thoughts wander in a desert <br />Rain give them meaning and peace <br />But sometimes <br />Deserts flood by rain. <br /> <br />What senses microscope <br />Paints the weather that we feel <br />Sometimes too much paint poisons the heart <br />The heart confides to the mind. <br /> <br />The mind feels afraid <br />And the symptoms show in mirrors <br />The fear it feels <br />Is the fear of possibility. <br /> <br />Not knowing <br />Only initiates as fear <br />God performs displacement reactions <br />Fear is displaced with hope. <br /> <br />When it floods <br />Remember god <br />He gave you the mind <br />To make a boat.<br /><br />Mehreen Mujeeb<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/displacement-reaction/
