Cleaning The Attic

Breaking the China ware

Of old thoughts lying around.

Lovely to look at encased,

But better when put to use.

 

In their fragmented form,

I can see and use what I like.

Maybe it will look better,

Than being enclosed in my mind.

 

We store away things like a pack rat;

Never putting them to use.

Time to clear out the attic-

Make room for some new thoughts.

Yes to have clear vision is the result of much introspection and hard work...I love it when I let something go that has been hangning around for quite a while, it's frees us up to change our way of thinking or just have a new begining of something.

Great mind provoking poeetry, thank you wise man....

Peace, love and light,

With your usual wisdom. You got me thinking. I'm writing a story right now using some old thoughts that had been lying around for very long time.

You betcha, George. Free up the attic. Let the China serve it rightful place in the world, filled with food and drink . . . Never quite "got" sticking it in a place just to admire it. Naw. Use it.

It already is looking better than being enclosed in your mind, George. "Just taking up too much room." I like that. ~~ Diana
