The Thinker's Soul

what do YOU think?

Small and fragile thoughts

Can join in one realistic goal

Other thoughts surround and

Reinforce the thinker’s soul.

The landscape of the cogent goal

Will scamper through one’s dreams

And reach the point of

Light to think again, or it would seem.

 

A clarity of conscience ought

To satisfy these themes,

To coexist with thoughts of other

Interrupted schemes.

But Heaven’s love can help

With all of what will come to pass,

And lead our being into

Such a love one can’t surpass.

A thought is quite fragile
The trick is to not hold it
Let it flow, grow and change
That is after all an open mind

But often we come across thoughts that are mixed in with the soul
They are a form of divine light
They just are
And they just exist

That's why some people hold wisdom and others don't
I believe that is divine love in a person's heart
To see beyond the normal

Quite a fascinating write
I think this is your best poem

Nisreenaa, This is one instance in which the review may be better than the poem itself. Very profound thoughts on your part reveal some nuances within YOUR thinker's soul. Thank you for saying this is my best write, I am honored. take care...dan

Thank you Dan

Bonaventure, I'm not sure what you mean by 'I need a bit of analysis.' My objective when I write something is to put my thoughts on paper, post it here, and let each reader decide for themselves what it means...and every one of their interpretations is correct! Now I am aware that English is not your primary language, so some of the meaning may be hard, lost in translation. All I wish for you, sir, is that you read and hopefully enjoy what I write. If you would like for me to explain what I was thinking when I wrote the piece, then send me a message saying so and I will do my best to explain it to you. It really means a lot to me that you read my writing and I wish to accommodate you as best I can. Thank you sir! take care...dan

I find this interesting; but I think I need a bit analysis.

[RiverRei]

I love this. I'm definitely a thinker so this speaks to me on a level I can't even describe. I love love love it :) (My brain is still fuzzy, sorry for the lack of wordy review lol). Thanks for sharing this with me!!!

[dan]

That's OK, my brain is fuzzy too and I got lots of sleep. Must be the meds again.....dan

the poem is a smooth thinking wave, the picture is perfect and the music adds a bit of spice to it. You've managed to bring a trinity of merits. :)

[dan]

ms, Thank you, I've been trying to find suitable music to add to my presentations of my words, I think a nice piece of music can enhance the experience. I trust your opinion a lot; if you think I should not add music to my postings please let me know. I'm asking you and a few others what they think. Thank you. take care...dan

[sereenaoutloud]

really liked this, the song adds to the already amazing write. My thoughts are always beyond what i could ever pen, but i try! :))

[dan]

sereena, Thanks so much for your read/review, and from what I've seen of your writing I think you do just fine. Keep writing! take care...dan

[Adam W Redmon]

It's beautiful.and the beginning of the song makes it so much better. I also love the name Good job! (:

[dan]

Adam, Thanks so much for your read/review. I know that Rush is probably a band that you are not familiar with, but when I was your age they were huge. "Tai Shan" just seems to induce thought, thus accompany "The Thinker's Soul." Thanks again...dan

This made me think of mindlessness and mindfulness for some reason (maybe the song helps as well). There are thoughts that can work against us, bringing us down in their fixation. Only until we learn for our thoughts to work for us (for our heart and soul along with our corporeal locomotion), can we attain what is called mindfulness and then we see truth, beauty, and love. Anto saw web pages. I saw train tracks. Alone they're nothing. But joined together, they are limitless.

Nadia, My whole idea of the Thinker was in defining what it is that a writer does before writing. Everybody thinks, of course, but writers take it a step farther by putting thoughts to paper. The thinker's soul is what arranges the words in a poetic fashion so as to impart thoughts in the readers. So my sole goal in sharing my writing is to, hopefully, prompt the reader to think also. Your review is very insightful, I believe it sums up what I just said, only you did so in a much more complex analytical way. Thank you so much for the great review and insight. take care...dan

In the same way a web page is broken up and delivered in packets only to be reassembled and displayed by a browser, I get the feeling that the poet is saying that random and seemingly unconnected thoughts throughout the day are assembled in dreams and delivered as cogent snaps of pure thought - of helpful thoughts, that aid overcoming the reality of life.
Truly deep Dan, but I expect nothing less from your pen.
Happy Easter my friend.
:)

[dan]

Anto, Your intuitive interpretation sounds like a winner to me. I like the way you break a piece down, much like you describe a web page, to its building blocks and reassemble them in your analysis. You have a nice Easter as well, sir! take care...dan

A small thought has the potential to become very large depending on
what you feed it, I enjoyed reading this and thanks for sharing, b-blessed!
