Intelligent mind. Really???

Riding the smooth life
with the defense all On
Knock knock, Who's there?
Wave of life is here.

It gives the shock
breaks the ride
sorrow attacks
shaking the settled mind.

Routine is broken
Something happened, a death, loss
or a belief got questioned.

Disturb is the state of mind
Heart is broken
Dreams are shattered

Someone has to work
Mind takes the initiative
With new vigor and tricks
looking for a fix

Objective is to find a road
which is undisturbed and smooth again
Taking refuge in another belief,
A new job or a new attachment.

Smooth ride begins again.
Wave of life knocks again.
Destroying the defense yet again.

Intelligent mind is on work again
finding still further defense.
And thus the pattern repeats

Intelligent mind, Really?

Free verse doesn't suit such an intellectual poem. But, nonetheless bravo.

This was really good and well written
You describe well how the waves of mind
rise and fall. And still there is a silent background
seeing all this. The depth beneath the waves.

Thanks for sharing

This is brilliant. A perfect description of inner mental dynamics. What a delicate balance we need to bask in the luxury of creating. Doorbell, telephone, even a change in weather can turn the intellect in on itself. Then how many phases are gone through before the waves settle.
Thanks for this learnings. I much enjoyed the insight.
