Notes About The Poem

Bradley Nelson Quote: "Thoughts are Powerful Your thoughts are ...

The Energy Of Thought

All things are created from energy.
Man wants to control the form it will be,
say yes or no to creativity.
There are no limits to a mind set free.

A no can stop a possibility,
stop the flow of energy completely.
Man can prevent its best efficiency,
stop production with a selfish decree.

Just like steel can be a scalpel or sword,
a tree becomes paper or a wood board.
We’re wasting resources we can’t afford,
Energy is not something to be stored.

We must free up the energy of thought,
minds of the future will see what it brought.

your sonnets are always well penned, filled with insights and wisdom. This one is no different. I liked these lines: say yes or no to creativity.....There are no limits to a mind set free. Thanks for setting my mind free hugs
