Deep Thoughts From the Deep

My thoughts breath, like a wave from the deep,
Some are fleeting and breaking too soon.
Others grow steady, becoming bigger than big,
With all of the help from the moon.

And just like a wave, that's out in the deep,
I can't tell which idea is the best.
My ideas are confused about where they are heading,
Like a wave heading east or due west.

To the shore my thoughts head, gaining momentum,
Coming together directly to land.
And like a great set of waves breaking to beach,
They wash up all over the sand.

The waves of my thoughts, from the deep they do come,
Some are huge and some are mundane.
I like my ideas that are perfect rip curls, I wonder,
Are your thoughts kind of the same?

Lewis, I'm very shocked this is your poem. I remember your poetry a bit different than this. No matter, this poem was one of my faves, you took me deep, and this is what poetry is all about. Congratulations :) SKAT

Thoughts riding on waves inside the artists mind. Sometimes unidentified. Until we breathe life into them. With the stroke of a brush. Or the flow of the pen. Then these waves take form. Within a birth of creativity. For all to appreciate. And for us to hold onto dearly. Awesome write about the uniqueness of an artistic mind.

Ya Lewis, i can definately relate. To take every thought captive we would need our own world. Just for storage space. Great write. Blessings Carl
