Notes About The Poem

Fluid Impressions: Watercolor Paintings of Human Thought Stock ...

Thoughts Running Free 4

Thoughts unraveling like loose strings on a ball,
then rewound to make useable opinion.

Past and future lose all their intrigue,
in the clearness and fulfillment of a present moment.

The intensity and immediacy of a brilliant thought,
becomes calm in the presence of an epiphany.

One’s time is truly blessed,
when passion and purpose are in each moment.

Ask me a question that in answering it,
I may fulfill a need of your mind.

Show me the emotions you feel in life,
that I may know the thirst and joy of your soul.

Does having a meaning for life complete life,
or is having a meaningless life even possible?

Let you soul’s destiny flow through you,
let it show others perfectly who you are.

Bill, your poem is a contemplative and emotionally rich exploration of how clarity, contemplative presence, and epiphany interplay with meaning, connection, and purpose. It stands within a strong poetic tradition but shines with your original voice.

Wow, Bill...what an amazing, thought provoking poem! The clarity of your thoughts allows for exploration and introspection. Each stanza is great and can stand on its own, but I especially liked this one: The intensity and immediacy of a brilliant thought, becomes calm in the presence of an epiphany. Extraordinary poetic talent you have, dear Bill
