Dreams and Thoughts

by I have filled my mind with dreams and thoughts I have drawn conclusions that seem real. What’s of value’s not by effort bought. As Ted Hughes said, his fishing was the sport Which brought both meditation and a meal. I have studied minds and dreams and thoughts We see ,like that, new images are caught. In silence and in noticing the feel What’s of value’s not by effort bought. What we find may not be what we sought At first ,it may not show its wise appeal I have found my mind through dreams and thoughts In the night the images take flight. God’s lioness destroys what is congealed What’s of value’s not by effort wrought. Like a butterfly, a flowering dart Of love and beauty which was once concealed I have found my mind by dreams, my wordless thoughts. What’s of value’s not by effort bought.
