The Thought In Parenthesis

by Everlasting   Oct 6, 2016


There's a thought in me
that is like a bird.
It comes to nest in me
then it soars ...

and leaves.

( I must be a tree )

There's a bird in me
that wants to fly free,
but it has no wings
to spread to the wind.

(I think I am a tree)

I have felt this bird
walking featherless on me,
then nestled on my branch
till its feathers grow.

( I am a tree)

I have seen this bird
flying to the sky
as I rest
uprooted on the thought
that now has flown
over
my head

...

(I am a tree)

Guess what?

I am not one

The bird flew away.

    ...I think therfore I am

    My thoughts have a will of their own. As soon as they've landed, they've flown off, never to be remembered again...

    I love this. We all have a bid in us that wants to spread our wings and fly but we never do.

    All the best, Em
