The Maturation of Simple Thoughts

Swirling words from an infinite field, Caught and thought in a moment of time. Knowing not their future or their yield, Their full potential may be sublime. Allow yourself a time to reflect, Give your thoughts the freedom to expand. It won’t take long for them to connect, Piece them together the best that you can. For simple thoughts to be understood, Whether written are spoken be clear. Used correctly, they’ll be more than good, They’ll be easy to read or to hear. Allow your thoughts to simmer and stew, Make your message be truly unique. Add some depth for those special few, Who hear more than just the words you speak. Most of your words the crowd will not hear, Or even remember in the end. But those who listen, they will endear, Mature thoughts on which they can depend.

"Allow your thoughts to simmer and stew" great advice, Bill. When I complete a poem I always wait several days before I post; I almost always change something around before it is posted. Nicely penned my friend. John

Thank you for the comment Paulette, in my mind I think alot of deep thoughts ( and actual know the big words that go with them); I generally try to keep things simple, it reaches a wider audiance. Bill
