INTRODUCTION

1. First Impression
- Simplicity
- Concise
- Lyrical

BODY

Subjectively, the first line refers to the act of "assumption."
The second line represents the "failure" to understand the "truth" about someone.
The last line is the perfected punchline; the grand finale of "self actualization."

FAVORITE QUOTE

"Fails to listen to its own song."

Honestly, this is my favorite line of the whole poem because it gives it the "lyrical" feel to the poem. It allows the reader to:

1. Connect
2. Appreciate
3. Love

CONCLUSION

Primarily, the "Mind" is a complex organism. However, "human beings" will forever remain "animals" of nature.

FINAL THOUGHTS

You are a wonderful teacher.
You are a beautiful poet.
You are Zainul.

The "Mind" is like a parable for me from the literal and metaphorical standpoint.
Happy writing!

I love this, very few words but such poignancy! Let us all be reminded to take time for ourselves, hear the melody within us, find our own rhythm . It is a indispensable "gift" that one needs to lavish their soul upon.

This reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Shakespeare: "To thine own self be true".

And you have done his words great justice.

So much said with such economical use of words.

Nice write.
