There's too much abstract willing, purposing,
In this poor world.We talk by aggregates,
And think by systems, and being used to face
Our evils in statistics, are inclined
To cap them with unreal remedies,
Drawn out in haste on the other side the slate.
ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING
Convert the conglomerations Speculate all situations Loosen your links and think . . .
How fortunate you are in such nought. to just sit here in your own little thoughts Staring about. . . . Don’t even react! and think . . .
Think about the "What if’s?" and "How can’s?" Be unburdened with the what may have never been’s . . . And no matter what reason, it’s when a wish becomes us and thus . . .
With brilliancy in our brains, where no soul’s estranged . . . We rearrange ourselves reckoned, counting on every past second and think . . .
Meaning all us, under say . . . Thinking about our purpose while being weighed and all we interpose we always hear, picking up what the devil fears and think . . .
We’ll make something of it all! Guess, sort and forever enthrall! Hold understanding to the Everlasting show . . . and thunk . . .
Sometimes people tell me I think too much, so, Kimmy, it's a pleasure hearing you tell everyone to think. Your advice is good, and well put. We were made to think...Jerry

Love Peace and Hugsss to you always..Morning Star
You got me thinking! It's good to think new thoughts sometimes. Just one inkling of change does wonders. Thanks for sharing this with us and your magnificent artwork.
How lovely and so very delicately written. Sometimes we need to look inward in order to refocus the outward. Always keeping God close and forever in our lives......
Be safe,
Karen

When I think too much I get in trouble
Great advice Kimmy
A neat abstract
Another brilliant poem & very uplifting indeed. I think the great sense of rhythm alsongside powerful ideas helps it to flow and have a big impact. Well done! Have you ever thought about reading/or read any of your poetry to an audience? This & your last one - Sipped with Tears - would sound great as performance poetry. Thanks for sharing.
This poem got me thinking that if anytime you run off of ink you would write to us using tears, because "your meaning always will be underway" to make us start thinking.

A long time ago someone much smarter than me said the trouble with children not learning anything in school is that they are taught what to think, but not how to think.
"Loosen your links
and think . . ."
It is a complicated world because of complicated people re-defining or destroying the simplicity that the Creator intended for there to be in life. Keeping ones eyes on the Light will show us our paths more clearly and help us avoid the pitfalls forever present in the shadows. Your heart is slathered all over this fine write Kimmy. Blessings to you ...

Wonderful writing as always sweet lady,Hugssssssss
Well said, we spend so much of of young lives being instructed how to think and it has only been in the last few years that society is finally starting to accept and encourage the use of imagination and thinking outside the box. You have captured this really well my friend.
A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
