THE SLEEPING MIND
Come wander through my sleeping mind 
See what treasures you might find. 
Memories of so long ago 
A pristine world clad in pure snow. 
A voice that rang with lovely song 
That spoke of love when I was young. 
Bypass the long dark corridor; 
Look not beyond the painted door.; 
For there waits agony and pain. 
These are the demons in my brain. 
I cry aloud for God to hear 
And ease the torment that I fear. 
Why did such evil come to me? 
I was blinded and could not see 
Satan waiting in dark disguise 
Laughing as he bespoke his lies. 
The doors of Hell were opened wide; 
When God at last came to my side. 
With God's help my demons were banished. 
Satan and his cohorts all vanished. 
I was free to fulfill at last 
God's plan for me which was vast. 
To write the words that set man free; 
To live in peace and harmony. 
~Florence Picciotti
