On the Brink of Think And now I find a new illusion In this maze of mind's confusion Always edging to the brink Always wanting me to think Haven't I yet reached conclusions To these questions and dillusions? Didn't I yet graduate the Thinker's School of Contemplate? Things appear that make me wonder Then I feel the need to ponder Not content with just assumption Never starting with presumption Thoughts fly with velocity To quench my curiosity Seeking answers logically And sometimes philosophically Why can't these brain waves stop and rest? They have become an awful pest Just when I feel like going to sleep A question in my mind will creep So back I go to meditate Intuitively to postulate And do not stop until my brain Resolves the point I can't explain I finally sort it out and when I've said my very last amen A brilliant thought pops up and then I'm on the brink of think again Elizabeth Santos |

A brilliant thought pops up and then I'm on the brink of think again .... Liz, you have already started a thought process...in my head... regards, sudhir. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

Elizabeth, you've described me here. There are nights when I can't sleep for all the thinking I'm doing. Great title too!  |

Liz--I think the brink of think is what gives your pen such ink! |

Liz I know just what you mean here. Though lately I seem to ponder and drift and never make it to the amen part before I'm waking up the next morning. Fabulous it is! |
