Thoughts

Burdened by many working thoughts,
the anxieties of communities of thought
conversing and arguing, questioning,
wondering if anything is ever said.

Nearly ready to give up on words,
their inability to rehearse.

You, thoughts, working so hard,
settle yourselves; sit a while.

Forgive yourselves of confusion,
things you will never know.

Flesh yourselves out in silence,
and be at peace through touch.

(Jonah 3:1-10, Psalm 130, Luke 10:38-42)
