Thought Before The ThoughtA Poem by Earl SchumackerDidactic poem- Words without meaning have the same unknown origins.Swallow the oceans in one breath Consume the clouds and sky of contents Exhale the birds and fish into the distillation Remember, they are bad for the digestion Pray for them since birds don't think and fish only drink Cast your eyes into the suns reflections bent Calm the moment thought upon that comes Keep it close when concentrating sublimation purity Warm your words conjured up in the light of day Let them settle into one from unknown origins Emerge with it from thoughts disclosures Keep one for yourself perhaps the first Divulge it to someone on first reflections pause Display it on the shores of reasons solid beach Open your mouth before the thought escapes Deliver it from evil as from the tongue Let it fly free butterfly like outside as air Feel it before it leaves never to return again Release it before if begins to make some sense
