Life Mere Thought

Could life be sustained, by mere thought?
Would it flourish and thrive?
Would it soak up the sun's warmth,
drink the cool water to soothe its weary roots?
Would it feel love, hate, desire, pain
Could it?
For it is not real...Mere thought. 
Or is it?

Life isn't about surviving
blind and unseeing 
Existing, complete in just being?                                                                           
Life is in affirmation...Loving deeply  
Feeling, tasting, touching...Seeing
Indifference, to compassion, to total understanding
Imagine
 
Feeling love, hate, desire, pain
For life's value...For life's meaning
Worthy of dreaming.  Albeit of thinking.
For it is real! 
Or is it...Mere thought?

Chris Green November 22, 2016 at 10:03 AM That is a good question, but I feel life is about thinking but more than a mere thought would be needed to sustain it, as your poem seems to say to me. Nicely done. Okanagan Bell November 22, 2016 at 1:19 PM I really appreciate you took the time to comment and love it! This style is new to me but the words just wouldn't leave my head until i wrote them down. I do believe you understood my intent..(the chicken or the egg) it's something (else) to think about it. please read "I am a lamb" i think u like it. thx again
