thoughts

thoughts

sometimes i have a thought
plucked out of the air
thin and wispy
which poof! disappears
where does it go,
this thought that was but no longer is?

sometimes i have a thought
a cloud-like puff which drifts
to my hands, my legs, my heart,
the words I speak 
propelling me to
create, help, console, dream.

sometimes a cloud thought
is dark, thunder-like
sunless
raining seeds of paralysis –
self-doubt, insecurity,
unworthiness, fear.

today i had a thought
i need a thought-weatherman
to herald clouds –  
the wispy, puffy, or thunderous
because sometimes
I can’t tell them apart.
