Thought (Free verse) by Quarton
What is thought, only neural connections,
transfer of impulse followed by conclusion?
A journey in time, a pause, life's reflections;
past reality lived or a rebirth of illusion.
A thought commences, continues to fruition,
potent, far reaching or a mere blip in time.
Frivolous, quixotic; perhaps clothed in erudition,
or nebulous, unfocused; naked yet sublime.
As ideas emerge and the many concur,
is thought then transformed to thing?
Reality created as life's images occur,
I think that I am; the universe a string.
Take away the thought, do skies turn gray,
oceans cease to ebb and rivers to flow?
If no thought exists, does the world go away,
stars above gone; no one left to know?
Is creation a mere metamorphous of thought,
our being in reality, mind made.
Particles arranged and true essence sought,
temporally formed, sadly destined to fade.
