Just as words can make you think-- <br />And a bird hunt can make you more aware... <br />Even in the lingering amber light of dusk... <br />Even in the cutting cold of sorrows despair; <br /> <br />Words for thought can make or break you-- <br />Easy does it as the domino's fall... <br />Chain reactions are ever nearing... <br />Downed a house of cards-once tall; <br /> <br />Words for thought can inspire you-- <br />Just as much as they can make you see... <br />The ravages of a tormented soul in chronic illness... <br />And the sorrows of the you and the me; <br /> <br />Just as food can make you think-- <br />Just as the hunter is found instead-- <br />The birds fly free in the amber light-- <br />And the truth in words invades my head; <br /> <br />The stealth and secrecy has all but been abolished... <br />The truth was, indeed, in the pudding my dear-! <br />Words for thoughts served to open taste buds wide... <br />And an enigma filled to the brim with fear; <br /> <br />So on we go with our new gained knowledge---! <br />A recorded diary in dated fact...! <br />Preserved in the light for future use- if needed... <br />Preserved in the light for future attack; <br /> <br />May 24,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/words-for-thought-2/
