I Think
I THINK
“What’s going on up there?”
I guess those words just stated;
By my brain were then created.
Oh, I have a feeling sinking
That I can’t write about thinking
Without thinking.
The above thoughts ethereal,
Which I did contemplate,
To you I do relate
By typing to make them real.
Right now, this very minute,
I ponder what next
Should fill this text,
What thoughts should go within it?
Enough, enough, this is tough stuff !
(Whoops, those thoughts just crept in.
As creation of this poem is here employed
Those random thoughts I cannot avoid).
Oh me!
I’ll expand this poem for I feel I ought.
Feelings do often then lead to thought.
With cogitation I could decide what’s next
And with further contemplation fill this text.
Perhaps with thoughtful concentration
And directed meditation
A thought or two I could convey to you.
That I‘ve tried to do!
I begin to realize that behind my eyes
Is an ever active realm inducive
Of thought, mine alone, exclusive.
