“What are you thinking?” she quietly asks of me.

I cannot tell her for it is as if I were lost at sea.

The sea that I am lost in is the sea of thought so deep.

Thought that is deeper than the sea and as such too restless to sleep.

My mind is inundated with all kinds of possibilities

Thoughts which pass this way and that as does a warm summer breeze.

I cannot lift myself from these random thoughts I think.

They began when from the cup of knowledge I first took a drink.

“What are you thinking?” she asks of me once more.

I simply take a breath as I stare at the floor.

How can I tell her that I fear for mankind?

For man has become unfaithful, unloving and much too unkind.

Our own selfish desires have led us astray.

The same selfish lusts will be our downfall someday.

So I simply let my mind swim in this sea of rage.

I pray that there will soon be found better knowledge in a new age

When men and women can live in a world of love and great peace.

I pray for a happy day when from earthly lusts we are released.

“What are you thinking?” she asks with great persistence.

“I am thinking of love and hope that has eternal existence.”
