How naturally they enter the mind’s realm,
Lending shape to spirit and soul.
Some from within, some from without.
Some bring comfort, some fear.
Some have been known to change the world.
Some, far better left unsaid.
–
Thoughts and feelings bringing reason.
Bold or foolhardy they come.
Some checkered, others not.
Hatched somewhere before they enter the mind,
And all bringing their own questions.
–
Do they invoke some gravitational pull to clarity?
Is their value only deemed?
Can both the strong and the weak have the same intrinsic value?
Does their equity prove their worth?
Each being born from knowingness.
Some never flowing into words.
–
Can they be a beacon in a darkness of thoughts?
Does the mind shape these, or do they shape the mind?
Do they shape the world?
Or does the world, as it is, shape and give life to them?
Through the complexity of the brain, do they unify?
Do they, not people, rule the world?
