Beautiful thought <br />I had. <br />Beautiful thought <br />I dreamed. <br /> <br />Beautiful thought, <br />pulled from obscurity <br />dwells in me. <br /> <br />Beautifully aching, <br />testing limits of control <br />pushing, <br />assaulting my conscience, <br />taking its toll. <br /> <br />Beautiful thought <br />I had. <br />Beautiful thought <br />I dreamed. <br /> <br />This thought <br />that plagues, torments, <br />over joys, frees me <br />perhaps is <br />key. <br /> <br />This thought that came <br />of love inspiring love <br />came gently, softly, <br />slowly, costly <br />it may be <br />beauty <br /> <br />That inspires an artist <br />in his craft, <br />or humor that <br />inspires one <br />to laugh. <br /> <br />Perhaps intrigue <br />inspires one <br />to learn. <br /> <br />But love, <br />only love, <br />inspires love <br />in return. <br /> <br />Beautiful thought <br />I had. <br />Beautiful thought <br />I dreamed. <br /> <br />That love given <br />has inspired <br />me. <br /> <br />© Jillian Scott 2008<br /><br />Jillian Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beautiful-thought/
