So Many Thoughts

So many thoughts run through his head
  Branches of rivers seeking a thread

Loose ends never gathered; perforce flung
  Far from a disheartened, silent tongue

"branches of rivers seeking a thread"...those lines immediately brought a familiar feeling of getting carried away with my thoughts Gershon. What an honest portrayal! Congratulations on your win :)

Wonderful metaphoric writing, Gershon. - "seeking a thread," "loose ends never gathered." Your theme is so vididly highlighted in your words. - No lack of focus or disorientation here! Congratulations.
