My Thoughts

A poem

My thoughts are wild brumbies
across an endless plain
that follows all directions
and maps onto my brain.

My thoughts are swarming locusts
which daily tar the sky
and feast on grains of wisdom
that I should not descry.

My thoughts are swimming salmon
beneath a girding sea
in which there is an island
to shelter lonely me.
