To reach out and touch someone

                                  Damn, I just had an seemingly profound thought

                                  but, it escaped me.

                                  Thank God my thoughts are electrical in nature

                                  and electricity produces light, for light travels

                                  186,000 miles per second.

                                  With luck, my thought will intersect the path of

                                  the moon, which has a weak gravity, and bounce

                                  off an ancient crystalline rock and return to Earth.

                                  I'll then not be disappointed if it does not return

                                  to my mind; contentment will be attained if it reaches

                                  just one of you.

Excellent hook at the end. 186,282, but who's counting ;)

astronauts count, dont you think?

"bounce off an ancient crystalline rock"--beautiful wording and beautiful poem worthy of pondering. I wonder how many of my thoughts were once someone else's, and as I age, how many of my lost thoughts reach another...hmm.

I know there are dream catchers, somehow we have to fashion a thought catcher....I think edgar alan poe kept the ones he caught in a jar........

[FlamingPhoenix]

I LOVE Poe! Brilliant idea: a jar :-)

[paul sal.....]

I love the practicality of your writing. It is as if we all can identify with it.
Good work my friend
