Are you thinking what I am thinking?

Are you thinking what I am thinking?
 
Today has been very perplexing.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
I do not understand what is happening!
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Someone requested that I not worry. Hah!
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Yes often our minds are our worst enemy!
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
I am thinking that a lot of us are not thinking.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Well, you are right. I am thinking we need to get our thoughts
together and act for the good of us all.

I believe a poem can change your life forever. I know many poems I read as a child made a difference in my life. I learned to believe in me. My senses started living along side me. My appreciation for nature and life increased by one hundred percent. As a result I paint, love photography, and I listen and try to pay attention a little bit more to everything around me. I also became a teacher to honor all those teachers who set me straight about life and learning.

    Beautiful piece! I love the sound of it and that James Allen’s quote is all so true. We are what we think. Out thoughts reflect who we are or what we become… 🙂

      Thanks. I find myself thinking about a lot of things lately. maybe I am just getting older and pay attention more to everything that happens around me. Thanks for your comments; I am always encouraged by what my readers have to say.

        You’re welcome. Sometimes the mind just wanders about in thoughts. There are periods like that when I find myself in this situation too but I try not to overthink for health reasons. Hugs to you. 🙂
