Reality Seen
thoughts emerge from the murk,
half born,
struggling this way and that,
fighting for life before being devoured by the doubts,
and indecision,
predators roaming the swampy slime,
attempting to kill any chances for change,
or growth,
stability and security prized more than freedom or imagination,
evolution a slow witted process,
success much more likely a mistake or accident,
than a measured response to the reality seen,
and experienced,
emotions,
both friend and foe,
helping and hurting the ability to think,
and create,
in this fertile sludge,
consisting of the remnants of past thoughts,
and desires,
hope and truth,
fertilize new thoughts and beliefs,
pure intentions,
truly ironic in the swampy slime,
life and reality,
begin within,
the world seen,
only the illusion of mind and beliefs,
molded and manipulated in the murk,
where thoughts half born.
