Thought Before the Thought
Swallow the oceans in one breath
Consume the clouds and sky of contents
Exhale the birds and fish into the distillation
Remember, they are bad for the digestion
Pray for them since birds don't think and fish only drink
Cast your eyes into the suns reflections bent
Calm the moment thought upon that comes
Keep it close when concentrating sublimation purity
Warm your words conjured up in the light of day
Let them settle into one from unknown origins
Emerge with it from thoughts disclosures
Keep one for yourself perhaps the first
Divulge it to someone on first reflections pause
Display it on the shores of reasons solid beach
Open your mouth before the thought escapes
Deliver it from evil as from the tongue
Let it fly free butterfly like outside as air
Feel it before it leaves never to return again
Release it before if begins to make some sense
