by Miguel O. Boutureira<\/p>\n\n\n\nWavy thoughts come and go, some like a river,
\nSome like a storm, most keeping me drenched,
\nWhile others barely quench the thirst that I
\nSuffer most of the time, but it isn\u2019t suffering,
\nTruth be told, it\u2019s more like a camel in the desert that
\nEven though he has stored plenty of water
\nFor the days to come, he still dreams of the oasis
\nWith a parched throat that cares not so much
\nFor the water he already has, but the one he wants
\nTo have, as it doesn\u2019t matter how much he drinks
\nHe\u2019s just like a broken vase, there will always be
\nPlenty of space for more, more water
\nOr more thoughts, as some come like tears,
\nAnd some others like fog, a clouding fog that hides
\nAnd confuses, and shelters, and disappears,
\nAnd disorients, and clings, and fills, and expands,
\nAnd wets, and hurts, and blinds, and eventually goes,
\nGoes away, we all go away, these thoughts
\nWill too go away, even if now they feel like less
\nOf a fog and more of a murky stuck pond,
\nYet here comes a whirlpool, there goes a stone,
\nBut how can that be, if my thoughts aren\u2019t made of stone,
\nMostly like water they flow, oh, wait, now there\u2019s blood
\nDissolving through the water, maybe it wasn\u2019t a stone
\nBut a black ice block, a cumulus of all my thoughts,
\nThat flew through, hitting me in the head and now
\nMaking my blood flow, spilling as fast
\nAs thoughts come and go, maybe it\u2019s possible for me
\nTo just go, dissolve and disappear like a thought,
\nWithout hurting and causing pain as this,
\nMore like a drop of water, silently drying
\nIn the side of the road, just where I am, walking,
\nLetting my thoughts just flow, explore,
\nJust like my feet sliding through this sea of leaves,
\nBut whereas they return from under the waters, I don\u2019t,
\nFor sometimes it feels so much
\nLike my thoughts are drowning me,
\nA huge wave over my head, this small boat
\nTrying to sail the everchanging waters of my mind,
\nThis one sometimes just like an ocean, sometimes a drop,
\nNo matter the size, it has plenty of thoughts, thoughts
\nThat some are like a stream, and others like a dew drop,
\nThat sometimes we don\u2019t even know they\u2019re there,
\nSmall and unintrusive, long lost memories
\nThat permeate the landscape of our mind,
\nStaring at them can make us blind, lost
\nIn the nostalgic dew drop of our past,
\nBut then again, any of our thoughts can
\nLeave us drenched, parched, disoriented,
\nBloodied, blind or lost, because after all
\nThey\u2019re just thoughts that come and go,
\nSome like a river and some like a storm.\n\n\n\n
