CHASING YOUR THOUGHTS

HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF LOST?
LOST IN THE MIDST OF DEEP THINKING
CAPTIVATED BY THE SHALLOW IMAGINATIONS OF THE MIND
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF CHASING YOUR THOUGHTS?

THOUGHTS THAT ARE LIKE THE LEAVES BLOWN BY THE STRONG WIND
LIKE A PAPERBOAT FLOWING IN THE RIVER’S CURRENTS
LIKE A PARASAIL THAT CROSSES THE SEA WITH NO EXACT COURSE
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF CHASING YOUR THOUGHTS?

LIKE THE STORM THAT CHANGES DIRECTION CONSTANTLY
OR THE VOLCANO THAT ERRUPTS ABRUPTLY
AN EARTHQUAKE THAT CAUSES AFTERSCHOCKS
HAVE YOU EVER FOUND YOURSELF CHASING YOUR THOUGHTS?

ARE THESE THE TRAGEDY THAT WE AS HUMANS HAVE?
THE THOUGHT ITSELF THAT WE HAVE IN HAND IS UNCONTAINABLE
AS IF OUR THOUGHT HAS ITS OWN THINKING
THEN IN THE END WE FIND OURSELVES BEING CHASED BY OUR OWN THOUGHTS….
