A Bad Thought Is A Message To Poem by Mark Heathcote

A bad thought is a message to
Listen to it; it purports all your weaknesses
Just as a bad dream guides you
Shows you at your disadvantaged self, now falling,
Trembling scared of the bleakness's
Reported to be groundswells opening above & below you.

A bad thought is a message to
Remember, it's not every flower flourishes.
On a rose bush, it's not the sinew
Of every rosebud on every bush, nourishes
Isn't that more reason to then deadhead wisely
Then let them, continue festering unwisely.
