Life Mere Thought

Could life be sustained, by mere thought? Would it flourish and thrive? Would it soak up the sun's warmth, drink the cool water to soothe its weary roots? Would it feel love, hate, desire, pain Could it? For it is not real...Mere thought. Or is it? Life isn't about surviving blind and unseeing Existing, complete in just being? Life is in affirmation...Loving deeply Feeling, tasting, touching...Seeing Indifference, to compassion, to total understanding Imagine Feeling love, hate, desire, pain For life's value...For life's meaning Worthy of dreaming. Albeit of thinking. For it is real! Or is it...Mere thought?

That is a good question, but I feel life is about thinking but more than a mere thought would be needed to sustain it, as your poem seems to say to me. Nicely done.

I really appreciate you took the time to comment and love it! This style is new to me but the words just wouldn't leave my head until i wrote them down. I do believe you understood my intent..(the chicken or the egg) it's something (else) to think about it. please read "I am a lamb" i think u like it. thx again
