Here's what I know about the human mind
The human mind, no matter how well trained
Is known to find ways to reveal whatever it fears, deep inside
As much of what the mind fears
Proves defensive in nature
Our first thoughts are not necessarily our best thoughts
At times of emotional turbulence
My mind reacts defensively
Knowing this, I seek out a Walden Pond to think deep
Once enveloped within this peaceful haven of solitude
I quiet the gerbil on the wheel inside my mind in hopes of clarifying
The cause of turbulent emotions, erupting on both sides
Upon consciously placing my defensive reaction in time out
My thoughts grow calmly reflective, suggesting that
A calm mind is more apt to embrace both views with objectivity intact
After objective thoughts smooth my ruffled feathers down
I send the other guy a heartfelt hug in hopes that
Feathers will unruffle and smiles will be exchanged, naturally—soon
