A judgement of thoughts


The thoughts my mind could think

the thoughts of someone wise 

with time the very thoughts would change 

and then the very thoughts myself despise 


In the realm of thoughts unknown

I thought of people on the unleash 

and now my thoughts find me there 

and the plight of thoughts the same it were 


The thoughts my mind could think......


Exclaimed l ..What! the souls calling ?

Laughed l....What, the whims of desire!

Mocked I .....What, the pangs of heart !

And now the thoughts of obligations, duties, the shame, the pride 


The thoughts my mind could think.....


And then there goes the thoughts of searching

Of things that ought to nothing

As longer the thoughts linger 

so deeper the pain within


The thoughts my mind could think...


For as the thought-wheel turns around

the strings of space that time  once wound 

Their pain would then be mine, me surround 

When my thoughts homeward bound 

 

The thoughts my mind could think.....


So in thoughts of life's search for merry

on life's path of time and destiny 

has had me thoughts as judged as I 

And judged by same will I be 


The thoughts my mind could think....

    And then there are the thoughts we think about our thoughts.... Personally, I like the way your mind works, the intricacy.

    Our thoughts can be our jailers or our liberators

    Our thoughts will decide who we are, I guess.
    It's always good to think about all the what-ifs. and keep searching. :)

    Thoughts are sometimes like a runaway train, rocketing perilously on the tracks, skirting disaster!

    The endless cycle of thoughts. They are like buses going by. They are mostly buses that you don't need to take but occasionally the one you are waiting for comes, when you least expect it.

    Thoughts are such a wondrous thing... The way they are born, the way they become actions that inspire more thoughts is a wonder. A mysterious circle, thoughts.

      Yes it is a wonder and a mystery how we are caught up in it

    We simply can't control our thoughts. We can try to harness the good and send the bad into the recesses of our mind. We can try. But what of the thoughts about our thoughts?! It's a conundrum!

    We need to protect our thoughts and make sure we don't allow ourselves to give up on them or let them be destroyed by others...

    But they get destroyed of their own accord in time. Thanks for dropping by
