Oranges.
Oranges and cream.
Home,
spills from the folds
of the galaxy.
While you are caught up
in a net of numbers,
solving problems
working your mind;
I am
walking the soft roads
of the universe,
arranging stars
with my forefinger and thumb.
You are stuck
below the clouds
while I journey
above them,
pondering
the things
history and existence
throw
into my hands.
I play with these things,
then throw them back
for my mind is
wholly devoted
to the future.

Our mind is our door to dreams, the world, and the universe. With it you can do anything. What you choose to think is entirely up to you, as is how much you learn.

Oh, I don't mind the creeping!  I quite like reading your comments- thank you very much for them- they mean a great deal to me :)

I'm not intentionally creeping on your poems, I promise! :) They just all seem so very interesting.

I really like the meaning of this one. You seem, again, like a very wise person with an open mind. I can appreciate that, and I can appreciate this poem.
