the mind's a greyhound

the racing thoughts, they run around
taking those turns like a greyhound
yet, does that race ever end?
 
finally comes a moment 
when the greyhound starts 
to go "put" "put"
out of air

once it stops, he feels,
his heart beat
pulse with the real truth
an inner knowing
that no race can know

the steady beat of his heart
that's been there throughout
all of his swirling head
and voices from outside and within

it is that pulse, that beat
in the breaking heat
when he really hears 
the true meat

the meat of the matter
heart over mind
the true victory
knowing he does not 
have to let his mind run the track again

listening in, honing in,
to that steady thump,
"pump," "pump,"
he stops
and it is all clear
