Quarrel of Thought, Word, and Hand
How is it that this mind,
So old,
Must be bound to a restless soul,
So young?
Have I wronged Mother Nature
In loving her?
My addictions return every day,
But am I helped,
Or hindered
By my ignorance for them?
Is it true
I may control my thoughts?
Likely not,
But maybe so.
I'd like to draw them out,
Let them slip through my tongue
For the world to ponder
Evermore.
In most instances,
I would see humanity is entertained
By my eccentricities...
But what of silence?
Is my identity to be known
Only for what I say?
Truly,
I do not do
Enough.
If it is so
That my actions speak louder than words,
Why ought I speak?
Perhaps my thoughts
Are undone deeds,
Awaiting their execution.
Do not let me speak my mind,
For I am lacking eloquence in the matter.
Let me show you.
