I am a thinking being
I think, therefore I am.
(Descartes, Rene)
I am a thinking being
I think, therefore I am
Whatever I think
I only know
Why do I think?
How do I think?
I do not know
Whatever you think
You only know
Why do you think?
How do you think?
You do not know
From which source does this thinking spring?
Nobody knows
You are my thought
I think of you
It means you are
I am your thought
You think of me
It means I am
I think there is yonder a star
It signifies that it exists
And you think of the milky way
You don't see with your naked eyes
But your thought proves its existence
Thus while I think that there is God
Whose entity I presume above board
Whose perfection I never doubt
Whose beauty and grace I ever adore
Can you tell me?
Whence does this thought enter my mind?
One must say it has come from God Who does exist
He does exist not ony here
Not only there but everywhere
Who generated into my mind this noble thought?
It stands to reason that it is none but God Himself
His attributes are here and there
His signs and clues are everywhere
In the sweet fragrance of roses
In the diverse hues of butterflies
In tiny green lights of glow-worms
In the scented magnolia trees
In rustling of wind in the trees
In deepening dales, in winding streams
In the sweet songs of nigtingales
In the softly lighted cathedral
In high minarets and domes of mosques
In twinkling stars and Milky Ways
In high mountains and darkening clouds
In rainbow, shimmering of moonlight
In waterfalls, fountains and lakes
In lightnings, thunder and earthquakes
I think of God
Whose reflections I ever sought
I love my God
Whose subtle glimpses I always caught
Hi Iqbal! Thanks for checking out my site I really apreciate it. :) I enjoyed this poem that you suggested.:) I love the line: "Sweet fragrance of roses, In the diverse hues of butterflies" It really paints a wonderful picture! Thanks :)
I have never read anything worded so perfectly. It is simple, yet complex. It tells me things which I may already know, yet have not had the opportunity to read in such a way as you put them. I have wanted to write on the same topic but could not find the words. You have written what so many people think but did not know how to express. This is put together so well, period. Valerie (my mother inlaw) read this to me tonight and I was in awe, speechless. If you do not mind I want to print this out because it helps me deal with something going on my personal life. Feel free to write me back, I would like that actually. Carmen Benjamin

This is a beautifully written piece. Thanks for sharing...continued blessings.
The thought. Not many people stop to think, "where" does the thought emerge from. I've meditated on this many times, and "think" the "thought" comes from the gap, but now I find myself searching for the gap. It proves to be and endless enligtening journey. You wrote quite a masterful thought provoking piece!
