Brainstorm

A melancholy thought, travelling at the speed of light Moves through the universe of the mind Seeking to find answers Dealing with matters of the heart This storm of emotions, caused by heartache Seeks to escape from the mind Like an electron from an atom, But then explodes into the deepest realms of the mind The thought, still moving through the storm Settles in the dimension of long term memory And there it lays dormant, beside The sphere of emotionally charged memories -- 10-12-18 Brainstorm Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton
