Just a thought

By Christopher7xii

so if actions speak louder than words
and thoughts have yet to become sound
is there really any risk in thinking your thoughts?
surely levels from being liberated into the wild Earth
- w i l l   n o t   c a u s e   h a r m -

so then the thoughts of becoming more
thoughts of becoming less
thoughts of freeing yourself
thoughts of subjugating
thoughts of red
thoughts of being read
thoughts of black
are nothing more than premonitions of something that may one day be,
 yet far from being

So again, what risk, tell me
to think of oneself so low
knowing autonomy but never expressing it
looks good on paper yet failed to practice
again, becoming no more than a thought

so what does one think when time has elapsed
time and time again without sensation of the cerebral cortex
- f a d i n g   f a d i n g   f a d i n g -
what road do these thoughts lead me down
what thoughts exist before a man goes mad
as madness doesn't occur as the moon does
or does it? fittingly so the moon hides aside from when it shines
ever present and unknown, shrounded by more obvious existences

so how do we know the thoughts that we think are what we think they are,
and not just madness stepping in a foot at a time
setting up home inside our mind
how do we trust that we are still rational and not diluting reality with doses of insanity
only when a thought gains voice, when movement takes form
an action, a trigger, a mechanism

so, what risk is there in having just a thought?

    indeed great quote from Hamlet, D. I agree though our thoughts are what we make of them. We all have a bit of madness that creeps in... its just how we respond to them which identifies us! well written, indeed :}
