To Think Reveals the World
July 26, 2011
Oranges.
Oranges and cream.
Home,
spills from the folds
of the galaxy.
While you are caught up
in a net of numbers,
solving problems
working your mind;
I am
walking the soft roads
of the universe,
arranging stars
with my forefinger and thumb.
You are stuck
below the clouds
while I journey
above them,
pondering
the things
history and existence
throw
into my hands.
I play with these things,
then throw them back
for my mind is
wholly devoted
to the future.

I'm not intentionally creeping on your poems, I promise! :) They just all seem so very interesting.
I really like the meaning of this one. You seem, again, like a very wise person with an open mind. I can appreciate that, and I can appreciate this poem.
