The Power of Thoughts

The Power of Thoughts

20 November 2017

Thoughts are more powerful

than a thousand pound weight.

They can push and pull inside you,

change your focus from love to hate.

They can chain you down

to the bed where you rest.

They can definitely guilt you

for not being good, better, best.

They can contort the way

all faces appear,

especially the one

looking back from the mirror.

They can make you assume

the world would be best,

if you can just stop

breathing with the rest.

They can make you see

that darkness is better,

and there's no point at all

to be a goal-setter.

Don't fret! The solution

from all of this madness,

is just changing those thoughts

from pain to gladness.

You see, thoughts are more powerful

than a million pound weight.

They can lift you up higher

than this mortal state.

They can open your eyes

to a paradise of love,

filled with a light as bright

as the sun up above.

They can fill your heart

with the connection we share,

with nature, each other,

all things everywhere.

They can contort the pain

in everyone's faces,

to become a gratitude

of having been to those places.

They can remind us of

old pains and fears,

so we can be supportive

and help others shed tears.

Again, thoughts are more powerful

than anything you can imagine.

They actually control

the heaven or hell you're living in.

So I ask you today

to go into your mind.

alone or with help,

go deeply to find,

the motivation to change

your thoughts' point of view,

from pain, anger, sadness

or anything askew,

And turn it towards hope,

love, faith and peace,

and you will find in the end,

an Eternal release.
