Absence Of Thoughts

Mired in a thoughtles fog

That can only be lifted

When the clouds let it through

And I can reveal its content.

 

There can be absence of thoughts

But not oblivion of the writer.

The mask, at times, comes off

And you perceive the conflagration.

 

A fire only consumes what will burn

The rest lies twisted and deformed.

There can be no remorse for the worthless

If in our minds eye we visualize such.

 

Heartless and rebuff for many so inclined

To view a tragedy and never shed a tear.

Comfort those who are left with loss

And their hearts forever to grieve.

And you perceive the conflagration.

Love the power of your prophetic musings, King!
Never stop sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the rest of the world.. those who have ears to hear.

GOD Bless You!

The rest lies twisted and deformed"

George, with your poem's gentle wisdom and disarming
warmth...you've managed to post the message clear
and loud...Try to be kinder to each other!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

absence of thoughts would be terrifying.

One can grieve for one's loss in however long it takes. Some people are really heartless. I was mocked just a few days ago in my poem "Little Brown Jacket" (which I had written with my other ID sandiemayangel-joyce). The poster placed a heartless comment mocking me that I still miss my mother. Seriously...one DOES NOT cease to miss a loved one just because the loved one is dead. Our love for our loved one is through eternity. I've deleted this person's comment and wrote him to let him know how heartless a person he was.

This poem is thought-provoking, it makes me think of that heartless person.
