Deep Thoughts

My thoughts fly out like ashes from a fire....
The smoke is my dreams when cold and tired...
The heat is my breath to blow out this scene....
So now the ashes flicker to where I've been....

OOOOO'''' Michael, your thoughts are full of life and it's wonder. Your journey of reality is well stuck with all your deep thoughts. It's a sad emotion when ashes leave behind stain that are not forgotten. I love the talent in your words Michael, i hope it all burned off already, and you are enjoying life with out having all them deep thoughts. :-)Unless if the thoughts are of taking over the world. Oh! Michael, i am being silly there at the end. Love your poem. Smiles to you,..p.d.
