Clear thoughts

Your mind is made up

Clear thoughts

100realpeople.substack.com
Church bells echoing in the still night,
midway through, you’ve clocked them too late.
Unsure if it’s the hour or minutes past or to 
that is being signalled, upon waves, to you. 

Walking alone at night, stars and lights,
not frightened or fearful, alive to the cool
air and clear thoughts that bring you
in a state of indecision to where

you at last see the truth, hidden but
obvious when you know where to look.
Not read in a book, not instructed by a friend,
but worked out mindfully in your own head.

For now it’s clear, your mind is made up.
Who knows what you’ll think when you wake.

Taken in Penzance, Cornwall on one of many morning walks I took before we had the dog ( he doesn’t like hanging around for me to set up the tripod and do a 30seconds exposure, sadly ) on the Nikon D750
