I Found the Nectar in My Mind

Yeah, there is the nectar
Nectar so sweet
How the mind does not sit, does not aim
Perils surround the petals
Dive in, dive in
Want it, want it
How my mind does not sit, does not aim
My legs so weak ; my mind so flickers
The shadow is all, it seems
The real can't bloom, it dims
It dims, it dims, shines the grimmest grim
Moves round on the false ground
where it lays, my mind, my mind
into the eddies of life, in the life
Not above, not beyond
It's in, solely in.
