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.

Heya Bill, some fine searching couplets here, #7, I would definitely answer the very fact we are here, means we are part of something, is having a meaningless life even possible, as an observer I would say yes, but I’m sure a creator would say no, great questions, cheers David

"Let you soul’s destiny flow through you, let it show others perfectly who you are." So rightly put. Yes, it is through the emotions, we express openly that others know who we truly are ! Enjoyed this beautifully reflective poem ! Stay blessed, dear friend, Bill !

Thank you for commenting,my dear friend, Valsa. I've got to find some time to write some new poetry. The fear of judgement, rejection and misinterputation block the flow, the revealing of our underlying beauty and authentic selves. Enjoy this day, given that we may experience life to its fullest.

Thank you, Silpka, for your insightful and mindful comments to my poetry. If we allow it, our poetry does become a mirrow of our soul. Our ego can also cast a shadow on what is seen. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

"Is having a meaningless life even possible," great question, Bill. All my praying & study says: every part of creation is essential, symbiosis on earth, Gods plan overall

Bill Baker

I agree with your final comment, Anil. All of creation is essenial, we're all part of the whole of God's plan. Thanks for commenting my friend. Blessings, Bill

A beautiful poem that has me ask myself questions. Destiny to me, is not hopeful on a human level...I have been on earth too long watching the erosion of people around the globe. We are unable to stop the bloody slaughter of innocents.. Thank you Panagiota xx

Thank you for commenting, Panagiota, without a change of heart, there is no salvation. Man in general has turn away from the will of our Creator God. Our faith must be in the universal power of creation. Man alone will not stop this run-a-way train to destruction. Prayers and Blessings my friend. Bill
