Piece of the head=Thought processes of the brain.
Obfuscate the sound dead=Declare negative, deceptive or destructive thoughts dead.
Peace on the mend=Then peace will be restored.

Made sense to me as I was writing it. :LOL:

I was thinking poetically last night about the same subject mater... how my obsessive/negative thoughts have been muted, and though not to silence, so hushed as to give an impression of stillness, which quite frankly is very new for me... and I praise the Lord for this :D

Amen it is! I wondered if I should get out of bed to try to poetize my thoughts in writing, but thinking about the stillness of my mind made it active LOLOLOL and defeated the purpose of laying in bed hoping for absolute stillness in sleep :giggle:
 
In this ever flowing present moment of now
I stand as in a doorway flung wide to the future
A mere window to the past behind me blurred
As all reckoning faces forward to embrace the next step

Something like that :unsure:

I am still um pondering that last word, step. Movement? Chapter?

Oh, I completely left out the part about the inner dialogue being muted :oops::giggle::giggle::giggle:

The doorway represents the moment in which I stand, and is the same "thing" that is the window also, though the window is much smaller because the vision while looking back is blurred and distorted, much smaller from a human perspective than the open door which stands before me, for all recognizances have been forever altered by stepping onto the Rock of ages which requires of me to reorder my life.

I love it. Curve?
 
Hi Meg,
I know this will sound weird, but the explanation resonated with me as poetry.
Read it out loud to yourself. It is powerful. I see what you were going for with the first draft, but the song of the words flows better with the explanation.
Thought processes of the brain,
declare negative, deceptive or destructive thoughts dead.
Peace will be restored.

It is strong in message and cadence.
I hope I haven't overstepped by saying this but what you did is a very writerly thing to do. We make a draft of our thoughts, and then as we explore them, when we go to explain them, we craft our truth. I think you went from raw thought to interesting writing. Kudos.
