A Passing Thought

We have thoughts
But do thoughts have us? 
Probably not.  Why?
They make us angry.
They convey love.
They create peace—
Or dismantle it.
They torment us
At three in the morning.
There is no escape,
No haven from them.
Or so it seems.
Once they capture your mind,
They seem to have captured you.
But is this really so?
Is it really so final?
Is there no escape? None?
What if thoughts 
Were just dreams,
Just clouds drifting
Across a clear blue sky
And you just watched them 
Passing by?

  1. I like how this explores the mindfulness question -are we defined and controlled by our internal chatter, or can we simply observe it? 🙌
