Poetry: Bitika Paul

Bitika Paul

Bergs Within The Mind?

 

"Where does a thought go when it's gforgotten?" with a punctuation mark a question was posed.

That seems deep inside the 'nowhereness',

A place which have its validation in non existence.

One may also say,

Absence of consciousness;

But of course it asserts,

the existence of unconsciousness;

Unconsciousness does exist.

I would never agree and say,

Forgotten thoughts are trimmed from the tree of thoughts.

There is also a place which can never be seen,

Thus it may arise within that,

Is this real or just a dream?

Remember dream too is a series of those thoughts occurs within one's sleep,

"The unconscious mind governs behaviour to a general degree" is a phrase;

Don't make the mistake of regarding unconsciousness as a trivial thing,

The phrase I want to argue against is,

Unconsciousness is the unmindful object.

Accordingly you can understand.

How thoughts occupies a position?
