The voice behind the thought.

What is a thought

that has voice

but a thread of cobweb

caught by the breath

of one's speech,

torn from mind's moorings,

tossed around until

it drifts from the

sounds of thinking

and hearing

leaving us the memory

of the spider.

This poem reads (to me) like my own thoughts, bouncing around haphazardly until finally my mind settles on something for a length of time, allowing me to head in some direction. This happens every time I want to stop doing what I'm doing, but haven't yet landed on what I want to do next *wink! wink!* I've always wanted to describe this mind bounce, but you've done it much better than I ever could! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Like your poetic expression here Andrew in this short write.

torn from mind's moorings
How good that is.
