just a thought
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
Am i just escaping into dreams, my future, future plans.
Great victory's tomorrow.
Is the dreamer not just thought run wild,
escaping from its sorrow.
Is the past not just recreating itself, allowing some controlled dissent.
Is It not just a note to self ,into the future sent.
Are my thought not just small circuits, never straying very far.
Are my thoughts not something separate.
Are thoughts all that we are.
That action is the only catalyst ,for changing what we are.
That thought and talk and remembrance, don't get us very far.
that fresh thought derives from action, and from action comes the new.
That the truth of all considered is we are what we do.
About this poem
That we are tomorrow ,what we do today, that life is in the living.
