Post from Paul

I thought a thought today.
It was Lotus-like in its simplicity.

It slowed my walking down to a gentler pace.
And made me smile in the street like a fool.
People walked around me and tutted and puffed.
And there i remained in the ice-cold sunlight.
Thinking my thought.

I thought a thought today.
And my ears became warm.

It caused the book to fall from my hand in the library.
And made my eyes stare through the veil of reality.
I smiled as i looked out of the window.
And the other library users tutted at the dull thud of my book.
Dissaproving looks that i smiled away peripherally.

I thought a thought today.
And hot coals were turned within my chest.

It made my pupils grow huge.
And my mouth whisper a true prayer.
The other people in the coffee shop stared at me nervously.
Then carried on with their routine whilst gently shaking their heads.
I invisibly crossed myself and stared across the street.
Wishing my prayer upwards.

I thought a thought today.
And that thought was you.
