Simple Thoughts

Thoughts enter
Words unbidden, flawless,
Silence spills into beginning.

A new chapter can be written
As the slate of mind is wiped.
Not clean,
No, memories tarnish,
Add a strange hue,
To this new image.

Ideas flow soundlessly,
Pure and gentle,
Welcoming a tired heart.
It is a new place,
A clean place,
Bound together by simplicity.
Simple words, simple thoughts.
Clean ideas.

Pulling this new place together,
Words swirling through
White space
The tainted nothingness
To create a new home,
A new place to be.
Hope spirals skyward
Blossoming from the new ground.
Hope that this
These simple words
Are true.

That they are strong enough to hold
A soul,
Full enough to nourish
A sad spirit.

These thoughts, though unbidden,
Are welcome.
