A ball of ideas

Life is all about engagements,

entanglements of

thoughts of action,

actionable thoughts

action and thoughts,

and sometimes thoughtless actions

meaningless thoughts

until the colourful skeins transform into  

one giant, jumble, colourful ball of ideas.

 

It takes a calm mind,

cool and clear

to separate and put them to use

or to see meaning morph from

what is far from a mess.

  2. I like the way you examined the entanglement of thoughts in the first stanza then set them straight with a calm mind in the second!

  3. "until the colourful skeins transform into

    I like the imagery and optimism in this and the clever wordplay of the poem..JIM
