Enough Thought!
Everything is just a thought.
This house is thought become incarnate,
an architect’s intention realized
in material and space.
The tree outside is energy
we channel towards a shape determined
by a thought. And lastly, there’s
that bush, perhaps a rhododendron
planted many springs ago,
a thought some landscape artist had
created with an energetic
force already turned to thought
before its transformation. Just
the thought of it is thought enough.
