Notes About The Poem

" SHORES OF EXPRESSION " MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: ocean, sky, outdoor, water and nature

Thoughts Vii

Thoughts are

agitated waves of the mind's archipelago 

that 

would never find rest

till 

the moment they break upon  

the shores of expression!

Archipelago. I am running for my dictionary now, for I love the SOUND of this word, yet have no idea of the meaning. I am so hoping you did not make it up, Demetrios.

Any thought worth thinking, for sure, must have these wakeful qualities. This is beautiful, Demetrios; a perfect example that a short work does not necessarily mean without great substance. Well Said!

For sure, Demetrios, to know thy self is to know the universe. Enough for any soul to explore.

It is a short work because I didn't have time to make it shorter. In ancient Greece there was a term for it " Laconizein" which was a sigh of wisdom. Ancient Greek philosophers used this form. Being Greek and a student of of philosophy I adapted the style for it is much more difficult to say many things in few words than to say little in a lot of words. Thank you dear Joe. I leave you with two ancient sayings" Know thyself " and " Nothing in excess "

Clever Metaphors outlining our thoughts resulting in expression. Love how you related this to ocean waves Demetrios. Your ability to relate your concepts into metaphors is very impressive. A skill few of us have. Have a joyful day my friend...

Thank you dear, Vijay! Metaphor, as you know, is one of the thousands Greek words in the English language. We use them very often. Hope you enjoy the day!

Constantly making their way to the shoreline, even as we sleep they are making their way there, how often we've gone to bed with a problem and woke the next day with the answer. Tom
