A bit of deep thinking
The clock ticks far away
inaudible yet present
as each measured space
between moments collide
with emotions that split
into a trillion atoms of thought
I choose a handful to
follow and chase
tracing their lost trails
of light already disappeared
but held in memory,
this beauty of thought
glorious abundant thinking
a privilege of consciousness
a gift presented freely
to enjoy in wonder
without bodily restraint
creates my humanity
that manifests in love

Sheer bloody brilliance, , , for once an intelligent piece not stuffed with gigantic words just to make me feel thick as two short planks...
I think your expression of your personal visuals on the thought process is delightful and mind opening for the reader, .... tyvm karen
