Thoughts Shifting Under Skin Beneath Awareness Poem by Terence George Craddock

sense huge thoughts shifting
under skin beneath awareness
learn stillness not silence felt

mind comparing sequencing
through thoughts with speed
elegance know aflame creativity

cannot quite keep up
with itself as poet
often cannot keep up

with self as thoughts spark flee
in multiple diverse directions
which mind treads to follow

which threads to discard thus
for each fish caught many
a school may be distance lost

when smoulder flames
into burning combustion
liquid napalm thoughts

ash drifts like metal strings
on a steal guitar mind plucks
at thoughts string picks notes

pluck thoughts turn thoughts
over dropping discarding
or expanding fervent ideas
