A constellation of consecutive thoughts
echo thru
my brain
Deceived by time; laughed at
by fate
I resolve
to go on
the thoughts jump around
in the
overcrowded
room of my mind
forcing some out
taking others in
I give you a few thoughts
that I am
done with
while I work on others
I try to absorb
whatever
thoughts I can
I sponge up your thoughts
and wring them
into a bucket
where mine recline
this intermingling can
go on and on
thru a
couple eternities
I’m gone; my thoughts
have taken
my place
What’s left of them
becomes
the legacy
of my soul
I hope you cherish
and nourish them
back to health
and we’ll
be on our way
My thoughts continue
to kick
and shout
dance & sing
to eternity

I wish I could have written
I wish I could have written with as much talent when I was that age; but alas, no. But this is certainly a poem to be proud of, a fine accomplishments.
