Each Thought Has Its Time

Straining to see truth through all the haze, With incomplete thoughts, it’s like a maze. Bits and pieces accumulate, But how do they connect, how do they relate? We try to relate them to things we know, But with so many differences, where do they go? Too many topics to assimilate, Constantly having to add on or update. Too long I’ve merely gone with the flow, Ideals light up but soon lose their glow. Without definition they will not last, Soon our ideals will live in the past. Give each thought it’s time, make sure it’s defined, The Truth will come out when it’s finely refined.

Well said Bill. I totally agree. It isn't always good to go with the flow. It may be easier swimming but most rivers flow into the sea or over a water fall. God Bless, JB

A fine thought provoking sonnet Bill, when is a truth a truth I suppose only when it’s a proven fact tried and tested, but belief and faith can change over time, for better or worse, as your poem wisely points out, (soon our ideals live in the past), but you leave a message of hope in your final stanza, cheers David

Hello Bill , I have never thought of thoughts this way. Something to ponder. The thoughts that have hurt me is buried in the past and there it will stay. Because that is the past. Your poet friend Darlene.

Hello Bill, Yes Bill I now live in the present. The hurtful past I had I let go of. I agree the presence is where we must experience life. I will and you also. Hugs.
