every thought

every thought

every thought

is worthy of space

which is why it comes to us

to claim our cerebral emptiness

for we are yet to be fulfilled

the light of understanding

vies for our love

and attention

yet we are busy

seeking other things

things that intoxicate us

and move us away from now

we call them such things

as dreams

and visions

and wants

and desires

yet the fires within our Souls

are not being fed

the fuel required

that our lights may ascend

back to that of the Holy

and every thought

that invades our consciousness

is not evaluated

in circumspect

of it’s worthiness

we engage them

anyway

don’t we

with very little reflection

as to their validity

or equanimity

to the balance of life

yes,

though every thought

may not be of good service

to our greater good

we embrace them

and at times

give face to them

and their haunting

as the joust and jaunt

their way into meaning

this is just a thought for me

for you

about . . .

every thought

what are your thoughts ?
