Thoughts

They emerge
Out of nowhere it seems
A manifestation
Perhaps out of lost hopes or failed dreams?

They float
As natural as a bird spreading its wings in flight
They consume
Like a raging forest fire, swallowing up the night

Our thoughts
Foe to our soul or happiness flourishing within
Choose wisely
They're with us till the end

Hello Kelly Hitchcock, our thoughts are with us to the end. It can make us feel sadness or happiness. Enjoy your evening my friend.
