Crumbs of Thoughts, A Poem

Heaviness of my thoughts 

Contrasts the stillness of the world 

of mountains.

Only the sounds remain of

 the birds chirping

the wind lightly shaking the leaves 

the rustle of our shoes walking on the path

Disturbing the rocks.

Silence devoid of outspoken dialogue 

gives room for my thoughts to be an echo

into a microphone with only me standing

In the crowd. 

I look over at You, and I feel

Uneasy because of what comes out of 

your mouth. 

Your words have the power to 

make my words feel.

At the time, I forced myself to leave my doubt and fear

behind, a single Thought at a time.

Trails of Thoughts trace my steps. 

 

My thoughts increase in volume 

as the environment grows quieter 

until we reach the top But 

where the expansive view I realize--

silences even my thoughts. 

I have to follow the breadcrumbs of my 

Thoughts to find out when 

everything and anything began to 

fall.
