Wordle: Swirls of thought

At times
Our empty minds
Fill with threads
Of thoughts, so rare,
So brief,
We hardly bear witness.
At times
Our thoughts speak
Loudly, hypnotic,
Sometimes erotic
Without grace
But we do notice.
And at times
We receive
An endless feed
Of claims, and chatter,
And we must root out reason
To begin to even think.

    The last thing on our minds is reason when eroticism is on the table or any where else.

      Surely not, Viv. It is a true description of how my mind works, however…

      Thanks for saying so, Jae Rose. Sometimes writing seems easier when the mind is… erm… a little busy…

    Well said TL…I suppose we are all lucky to still have our thoughts at all. Any one of us could lose them one day. I am thinking we should pay closer attention to them while we can and appreciate our amazing abilities to stay above water and proceed forward during times of such insanity…Keep those thoughts positive TL 🙂 VK

      True, Prenin, but some thoughts are best forgotten – as with dreams! And thank you!

    Bravo.
    A great, succinct, well-rhythm’d poem, relaying three differing states of the mind and its processes, which we all relate to. Thank you.
