Such deception lies behind closed eyes!

From the invisible mind
came invisible thoughts,
an audible frequency
that could not be heard.

What thoughts echoed
down chambers full
that appeared empty
where footsteps left their mark
from shadows spent?

Would a dog be man’s best friend
if he could hear our thoughts?
Would humanity survive
the knowledge of knowing
what one really thinks?

Language is the masquerade
of words spoken while
covering the real truth
from the cranial chamber,
a circus of thoughts
with an instinct to survive.

Many well-stated ways to show how we all lie to some extent, in some area of life. I find writing to be the preferred communication exactly becuz we have a time lapse to edit ourselves before screwing things up the way I normally would, given only my feeble verbal skills *wink! wink!* My favorite line is the one about man's best friend. My dogs know the truth, no matter what I say, becuz they are masters at reading body language (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yes Margie dogs are receptive knowing people who are bad. Yes reading or hearing thoughts would be interesting. I like writing too, so many avenues to explore be it fiction or non fiction. Thanks Margie for a great review.
