Thoughts are Things

Thoughts Are Things
I hold it true that thoughts are things,

They’re endowed with bodies and breath and wind And that we send them forth to fill The world with good results, or ill That which we call our secret thought Speeds forth to Earth’s remotest spot, Leaving its blessing or its woes Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future thought by thought, For good or ill, yet know it not. Yet, so the universe is wrought Thought is another name for fate; Choose then thy destiny and wait, For love brings love and hate brings hate.
You never can tell what a thought will do In bringing you hate or love; For thoughts are things and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe… Each thing creates its kind. And they speed o’er the track to bring you back Whatever went out from your mind.
