What you think is..





What you think
-
Is
-
Important


Because
-
What you think
-
Is
-
What you are

Cool




Cool is finding time to talk
When time you have not any left
Cool is tolerating others
And the things that they have said
Cool is absorbing all the tension
While the spring is being wound
Cool is analysing signals
When they come at you inbound
Cool is moderating answers
As they form within your head
Cool is changing them for something
Less regretted when its said
Cool is understanding fears
And leaving them where they are found
Cool is listening to all
Determining the common ground
Cool is knowing whats important
Also knowing what is not
Cool is staying ever cheerful
When inside you are in shock
Cool is appreciating love
That someone special gives to thee
Cool is thinking the word 'you'
And not so much of that word 'me'

Attraction


To work out where we are
-
To know what is life's game
-
We need first to ourself
-
Our body explain
-
This craft that we pilot
-
This ship with our name
-
It floats in a place where horizons
They change
-
This place in our wisdom
-
We have "Universe" named
-
This Universe
-
Well
-
It's illusions are part
-
Of our body and mind
-
Of each pumping heart
-
Inseparable
-
Mutual
-
Defined by our brain
-
Our attention determines our place
-
In this plane
-
Now this craft and the seas
-
That it sails
-
Are a game
-
A screen
-
Like a stage
-
Where our consciousness dreams
-
It is here time is made
-
As we witness each change
-
One breath to another
-
Decay in a cell
-
Stellar expansion
-
We measure them well
-
All the motion we see
-
This change
-
We call Time
-
Results from attraction
-
Somewhere
-
Down the line
-
No one knows where it ends
-
Nor where it began
-
But one thing is certain
-
You are part
-
Of
-
The Plan

Not so much...


It is not so much what you achieve
-
In this life
-
But what you learn
-
That
Is
Important

Perceptions of Reality (or: How to understand a Universe)





As the Human Mind is bound
-
Within it's senses
-
Limited
-
Imagination it is found
-
Doth suffer
In parenthesis
-
(Imagination)
-
Thus
Restrained
-
Incapable
-
(So tightly chained)
-
May not imagine boundless plains
-
Nor endless continuity


Perception
-
It would seem has trained
-
Tamed
Perhaps
or
Even maimed
-
Our modern
-
Focused
-
Fettered
-
Brains
-
So needful
of
Emergence
-
Into an age
-
Imagine it
-
Unlimited
-
In which we fit
-
Unlimited
-
Changed
-
In a look
-
If we could just
-
Put down that book
Of
Rules
-
We have become


As shapes may come
and
Shapes may go
-
Perception
From our senses flows
-
Yet all we see
Can be undone
-
Done up
Rethought
-
To
Find
The sum
-
Beyond the brink
-
That is not there
-
We need to think
Ourselves
-
To where
-
We understand
-
Perceptions
of
Reality

The wonder of the World







-


The wonder of the world
-
The beauty and the power
-
The shapes of things
-
Their colours, lights and shades
-
These things I saw
-
Look ye also
-
While life lasts
-


Note:
BB's Bedside books were written with such love of the English Country side. Each of them carried this beautiful little poem inside.(apparently copied from a Northamptonshire tombstone)
