WHAT THOUGHT DID… MORE OR LESS
I’ve been trying hard
Not to think about
All I am
I’ve been trying hard
Not to think about
All I have
I’ve been trying hard
Not to think about
All I know
I’ve been trying hard
Not to think about
All I see
I’ve been trying hard
Not to think about
All I feel
But the more I try
The more I think
The more I think
The more I feel
The more I feel
The more I see
The more I see
The more I know
The more I know
The more I have
The more I have
The more I want
The more I want
The more I get
The more I get
The less I need
The less I need
The less I feel
The less I feel
The less I see
The less I see
The less I think
The less I think
The less I know
The less I know
The less I have
The less I have
The less I am
The less I am
The more I try
To understand
What I know
What I think
What I feel
What I see
What I have
What I want
What I need
What I am
Okay, Stan. Your writer was very pensive.

Thanks Weasel; Difficult to balance want and need.
ReplyDeleteA very brilliant thinking mind you have, Stan.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Like Greyscale Territory said, good Domino effect.
It is "difficult to balance between want and need" as you say but your brilliant thinking mind has churned up this lovely poem with a domino effect as GT has rightly put.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!!
Stan great illustration of the domino effect.

Powerful! It would be wonderful if we could get a handle on that balance!
ReplyDeleteTrying hard not to think about things is still thinking about them - good point!

Its true that more we try not to think, the more thoughts come. But all the things we do is to understand ourselves. Very nice poetry.
