Getting a Grasp on Our Thoughts

When trying to grasp thoughts through our mind’s haze,
It’s like trying to escape a thought maze.
As the bits and pieces accumulate,
How will they connect, how will they relate?

We try to relate them to things we know.
Each thought should be placed right where it should go.
So many topics to assimilate,
We constantly add and have to update.

Without clear focus they may lose their flow,
By first burning to bright then losing their glow.
Without definition, they will not last,
Some good ideas will drift to the past. 

Give each thought it’s time, make sure it’s defined,
It will be its best when finely refined.

I suppose we all could slow down a bit when thoughts cross our minds...letting them soak in and lead to those good ideas to which you refer. Your sonnets have such wisdom entwined in them....loved this!!!
