Thoughts
God triggers a thought
in and out of my thoughts
i weave another thought
a thought follows a thought
soon I am caught
in my web of thoughts
i lock, and unlock my thoughts
my day starts with a thought
and ends with a thought
negative or positive thoughts
some cynical thoughts
many meaningless thoughts
I wonder if I know
thoughts hold me
or I hold thoughts
my mind whirls around thoughts
yet in my thoughts
I feel of only God’s presence…
