A sonnet about pure thoughts

Our thoughts are pure without any body

Or clothes hiding one, in the trees or sky

Or by wall peg to hang its tale thereby.

Our body is cloth cast off and away.

 

No tail hangs by this body perfect pure.

Its meaning burns as food in intestine

Its light envelops trees and hills for sure

But in the end, is just sloughed off skin.

 

Beyond hills of clouds we wear another

To hide nakedness of skin from our thoughts

There we emerge from all-knowing mother,

Entangled in philosophical knots.

 

Our body is earth of dust seeking sky

Looking for soul that leaves it high and dry.
