They walk in silence
And they run in fear
But they can only be heard
When we are willing to hear
On a typical day’s quiet stroll
Comes the caress of gentle winds
When suddenly, they are there
As we take our surroundings in
While lying awake at night
Be it hot, pleasant, or icy cold
They slip in through small unsecured spaces
Bringing with them good, bad, new, and old
We can use them as we please
To create, enjoy, and build
Yet, we can also completely destroy them
Leaving them for dead in an open field
To forget, to remember, to cherish
To keep, or to throw away
Thoughts and memories continuously creep
On every given day

what a brilliant interpretation of thoughts! you are so right – we have the power to accept or reject them – they don’t need to rule over us…
