A Penny For Your Thoughts

Lifes deepest thoughts believe and understand.
   Myths buried in the mist, shroud everything.
   Where pearls of wisdom grow from grains of sand.
   And wishful thinking, would make churchbells ring.

   Where flights of fancy follow shooting stars.
   Or dreams throw pennies down those wishing wells.
   Sometimes they contemplate, a life on Mars.
   And magic potions made by witches spells.

   Or find a pot of gold at rainbows end.
   Blue Moons are not just fables,yet they are.
   Believing broken hearts,will never mend.
   Those stars are diamonds shining from afar.

   As the one eyed man he will lead the blind.
   Rose tinted spectacles, they feed the mind.

   There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man
   that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.

   William. Makepeace  Thackeray.
