Deep Thinking Lingers
It’s good to know there’s still a few
Deep thinkers, roundabout;
Those who are unafraid to speak their minds
Of certainty or doubt.
To disagree with you and me
About religion, politics and war;
It’s good to know there’s still a few
Deep thinkers at the door.
Where disagreement and discussion
Are two poles that intertwine
And listening before talking
Is in tune with God’s own mind.
Though we may not always be
Right, wrong or other-(wise);
As the distance between two points
Cannot always be perceived with just two eyes.
The mileage is in the journey
And we’re all visitors around here;
It’s good to know there’s still a few
Deep thinkers with hopes and fears.
Standing on the precipice between
The past and now, today;
While time is fleeting with the wind
Deep thinking lingers in the clay.
Ye poets are deep thinkers
Hats off to you and I;
And I pray you disagree with me
Until birds no longer fly.
