Idle Thoughts

Life

 

Life's great ambition 

Is merely

To survive itself 

 

Society 

 

I am not 

what I am

So I am

what I'm not

 

Former land of the free

 

Every great civilisation 

Consumes itself from the inside out, eventually 

Welcome to the genesis of Gilead!

 

Time Less

 

The mind is a time machine 

…Until it's broken

Then memories lay dormant 

Like words left unspoken

 

Food for thought 

 

Feed your imagination 

And stop the brain stagnation!

 

Hope

 

A hundred hands pushed 

me down 

A thousand helped me up

 

Mind Garden 

 

The garden seems much smaller

The grass, not so green

Inside, the walls close ever in

And harbour silent screams

 

Dream Theatre

 

Do the people in our dreams 

Dream of reality? 

 

You

 

He once thought 

he was nothing

Until he realised:

To some 

he was everything 

 

Peace

 

Within my embryonic coven 

I found a love so tightly

 woven

 

Life Ahoy!

 

You are the captain 

of your own ship, my friends

Navigate with care

For there are stormy seas

out there!

 

Grateful 

 

To die 

Means, at least 

you have lived

Some, never get the chance... 

 

?

 

Did you abandon your dreams

Or did they abandon you?

 

Discovery 

 

I never knew I was lost

Until I found myself 


 

Small mercies

 

She liked her men

A little roomy

Thank God, I thought

That I'm so puny! 😉

Almost a collection in itself, Stephen. Remarkable and inventive.

Should be called, 'Deep Thoughts,' I think Stephen. You leave no stone unturned, with your profound observations. 👍
