Thoughts

Words

when offered in greetings 

or chit chat

in texts and comments

sometimes written on postcards

or clumsily spoken into voicemails

can be received. 

Words are often received,

but sometimes not

and often not the way the words

were intended. 

Other times there is weak or unclear intention behind words.

Thoughts create a flow, a stream, a river

that cuts through a valley.

Thoughts can be felt deeply

and never properly represented

with words.

Thoughts connect us more than words ever could,

unconscious and conscious

thoughts. 

Thoughts without a thinker,

yes,

but there's more than that.

Cherish the substance,

harness it,

and watch

what's in your thoughts.
