In the beggar’s banquet of mind.

How can a man
be measured
if he has no shadow?

What becomes of light
in the light without
the need of shadows to shine?

No thought is homeless
for the mind is
a beggar for thoughts.

So come inside,
make yourself at home
but don’t alter the furniture.

Love the second last stanza! mind a beggar for thoughts - that's an epic line imo. Yet another thought provoking write by you, Andrew.
Some thoughts do rummage around with the furniture inside though :x
