“What is this prison I’m in”, said the idea with unlimited potential? “How can I change the world while trapped inside of the mind of one man? In their language I’m called a thought. I am destined to become a meme of society, realizing my full strength. I shall manifest myself as a solution to a problem, that will meet a need. Planted first in the mind of an individual, then the spread begins. I’m passed from mind to mind, sometimes on purpose. At other times I’m accepted and distributed by simple association. I grow in power and influence, and in time, like the tributaries joining a mighty river moving swiftly towards a waterfall that joins the ocean. My full potential can only be reached by changing from form to form. I must change to fulfill my destiny and manifest as pure energy to serve mankind.”

You way with putting thoughts down in words is beyond profound and powerful! And very intriguing! Sometimes we all wonder and question our own ideas and thoughts that roam within walkways of our mind! And you’ve expressed that so poetically here! I love so many lines in this! Especially “ I’m passed from mind to mind, sometimes on purpose.“ how deep is that line about ideas! And sometimes must i add, ideas get stolen too lol , from personal experience in real life… ive seen that. Pleasure readn

an astonishing masterpiece, Bill. Once again you've wowed me. I love how you personified 'idea.' Doing so made this poem flow and seem personable. This was one of my favorite lines: like the tributaries joining a mighty river moving swiftly towards a waterfall that joins the ocean." A wonderful image that gives power to 'idea'. You're indeed a bard, extraordinair. Thanks for sharing your words and poetic voice with us. You are treasured!
