The Conscious Stream
Rampant ideas and tangential thoughts
Swirl and eddy in constant motion
Bordered by subconscious banks
That steer them as they pass by
Coursing around stones and rocks
Dug from unknown biases
Changing the direction of the flow
To find a less resistive path
Where pebbles of like and dislike
Lay strewn on glimmering bottom
Some seen just as clear as day
Others are ripples of misperception
The stream runs pristine at times
When the heart is given some say
But when fears muddy the waters
Those fears will cloud the mind
We cannot control the journey
Of things that dwell in our heads
But we can ensure the water is deep
Thus, unfouled by shallow judgements
Be mindful of the words that fall
On the mountain of your life
If they flow down unchecked
They become the ripples and waves
Without a calm surface to look through
We can never see who we truly are
commonsensiblyspeaking 
Misconceptions,fears..all can be resolved from effective communication and avoid shallow judgments.
Your words are so very true Meena! Thank you!
great imagery; I can picture water taking a meandering path on the way to its objective, much like our thoughts.
Thank you Jim!
