.
My mind meanders like a river
‘Cross polished stones and burnished sand
Feels the ripples of the water
Running o’er my burning hand
Where the sun has warmed my bloodstream
The liquid gently damps it down
And my fingers dribble slowly
Wash away my mental frown

To me the mind not only meanders but holds the capacity to explode and project thoughts all around. So if were to endeavour to ” wash away the mental frown”, we need to do a 360 degree cleansing of our past regrets and future concerns.
