Thoughtfulness



		My most profound moments
			are rare occasions
				that I see clearly
					deep in thought
						and I become a part of thought
					disengaged from the outside world.

		My capacity to endure this state exhausts
			and the image disintegrates
				like frozen water melts to normal.

		A moment in such a frame of mind
			is enough to enlighten
				a Man's whole philosophy.
