Thermometers of the mind

every thought of ours

is a sampling

of our consciousness

as much as

oars penetrate the water

to move along upon the liquid

so also does each thought

in its own way of arrival

by the weight of its content

by the embodiment of its carriage

given as evidence likewise

of a life force exchange

how much orchestration and might

leads to physical action?

how much energetic output

is spent on emotion?

how much spin, hum,

buzz, and source

are giving depth to your being

as your mind is part

of the collective unconscious?

we have the awareness

to discover, realize and read

for the thermometers

of the mind that we are.

for every thought of the way,

we are all as one

going forward into being.
