Closing Down Poem by Kelvin Rush

Closing down my mind and thoughts
And finding peace at last
No more need for soaps or sports
Or battles from the past

No more desire to impress
Or keep up the false pretence
It's all an illusion in the end
Our own intense defence

A constant fight no one can win
Just a lesson to observe
A useless plight of toil and sin
We get what we deserve

Just like the sunshine wind and rain
Emotions come and go
Pay no attention to the pain
Give up your need to know

Never forget that one day soon
We all will cease to be
No need to preach doom and gloom
Just open your eyes and see

In quiet reflection you will know
What life is all about
Closing down your mind and thoughts
Will leave you in no doubt
