Lost in thought - Judith Stone

[Larry Robinson]

Lost in thought
 
I want to get lost in those thoughts
that continue expanding
 
way out over the clouds
rising into nests of stars
 
migrating across seas, flying
into wild new geographies of meaning.
 
I want to get carried away 
from all that is manageable and trivial,
 
all that is self-defeating
all that shrivels the heart
binds the feet and shrink wraps a soul.
 
I want to get lost with those spacious thoughts
that amaze, like stories,
 
building syllable upon syllable,
word after word, until, in the end,  
 
the plot gives way
to holy incomprehension,
 
I want to say yes to all
that bids us to the window
and across the door step
 
where rustling satin notes of sky
sing us into whole landscapes
of  yet unspoken poetry.
