Clear conscience

Empty head.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Very short one today - off out soon and entertaining tonight so you won't hear much from me today. Although short it has a lot of meaning - not sure if anything like it has been written before - probably - but it popped into my head when it struck me that no one can possibly claim they have never done anything they regret.

    Several meanings come to mind. My chosen interpretation is of the 'emptyheadedness' following the frustration which built up within until one finallyspoke/wrote the thoughts harboured for too long.
    A clear/empty head having got it off one's chest.

      I had in mind if you have a clear conscience (of life in general) then you are deluding yourself - ie you're an air-head. Thanks Dusk

      Good one Michael, very true.

      A fine write M.
      A shorter one. Victor Hugo, I think it was, once wrote a letter consisting of: "!".
      The reply was equally short: "?".
      That could teach us not to waffle.
      You entertaining Miss Berles?

      Thanks MIKE for a "Midweek Thought to Ponder !" Saul of Tarsus exhorts us to "Be transformed by the renewing of your MIND" good advice. I clear my conscience every night and wake up with a Clear Head ! SOT also says "This one thing I do ~ I clear my MIND & my CONSCIENCE of the negative things of the PAST ~ and PRESS ON to a brighter Future !" Good advice or what ? Thanks for sharing YOURS BRIAN .

      Michael,

      ...and the truth will set us free...
      or put us behind bars!
      It all depends...

      A nice shorty!

      ~Laura~
