Vagrant Thoughts

During day, mind is clogged By a thousand thoughts A pot of marbles upturned On attempting to sweep them together They slip and slither Running this way and that way At night, after their vagrant wanderings They come back to roost ......................... if not insomniac!

Ha, ha! I like that turn of phrase, Valsa: 'Insomniac marbles.' Quite poetic there. Thanks, gw

Which way to go, at least you created a wonderful poem, out of all your thoughts, makes the reader think as well.

Shatter all thoughts before going to bed. Meditate on the crib. I bet you'll have a good sleep.

I wish we had a build in button we could just turn off those thoughts. Then we could get a peaceful night sleep. Nice write. Blessings ~ Debra

Valsa, your poetry speaks for a large group of individuals. There's often too much happening in our minds to keep track of everything.

Thoughts wander when life's balance is disturbed. You speak for many through this poem, Valsa.

Yes true. Man is constantly visited by complex thoughts. It needs special training to focus them to a point from wandering away ! Thanks a lot Vijay !
