Terrell Martin Poet Rhyme

Thoughts Are No Less Things

Wandering 
Through an art gallery 
I couldn’t help but wonder where 
The ocean of artistic ideas may be found.  Down 
Deep inside our brains where cells contain the seeds 
Of every memory, emotion and intelligence lying scattered
All ‘round.  Later I dreamed that things were not quite as they so very 
Often precisely appear.  Angels danced while we romanced like we were 
Making immortal love right here.  Intertwined and intermingled, interconnected
Separateness turned single.  
Leaving me and you somewhere reaching the outer Limits 
Of space between your mind and mine and a concept we call time.  
Reeling and Dealing 
In the perplexities of where thought originates, I was left concluding nothing more 
Or less than Consciousness as the Ultimate Intangible Underlying Everything 
From soup to nuts and saints to stars leading me to believe in Thoughts  
No less things than birds with wings and songs to sing 
As close as you and I are near enough to 
Far.

M. Hussain Effendi October 21, 2011 at 11:35 AM Somehow, I knew what I would be reading when I read the supercool name of the poem; and I must say, it went par my expectations. Great lines. Hope you see home soon, dear Terry.

Elizabeth Wesley October 21, 2011 at 8:35 AM Even though you are far, you are very near in this lovely verse. It needs to be read more tan once to absorb the complexity then it digests so well. Missed you Terry, hope your travel plans gel and you get home soon. I'll keep in touch.

Steven Cooke October 21, 2011 at 5:43 AM quite a complicated day dream is this. Imagine it took quite a long time to write. but the effort was worth while. it is a very good poem, which makes you think. i like this

Ilene Bauer October 21, 2011 at 5:32 AM i know how frustrating it can be when the poem doesn't appear exactly the way you intended it to appear, but it doesn't take anything away from the beauty of this poem. it's the first poem i've read since soup came back to life and it was a lovely welcome back. thank you for it!

Terrell Martin October 21, 2011 at 5:13 AM The words "limits" and "dealing" were intended to be placed at the end of the preceding lines. But for some unknown reason the words were dropped down into their current positions. In sum, "It's a fluke" I didn't plan on. Cheers, Terry
