Thought (Free verse) by Quarton
What are thoughts, 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--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 and 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 then a metamorphous of thought,
our being, in reality, mind made?
Particles arranged and true essence sought;
temporally formed--sadly destined to fade.
