thoughts are waves
there are oyster shells
scattered on the sands,
or under deep waters

A person can steal one idea but just one.... where is the talent before that.... Need steal again is not? ? ? ? And again, and again, , , , , I think this poem is about that... Liked so much Poetess.
Apparently seems to be a jumble in those few lines where oyster & pearls are hidden. And that pearl is found in the vast ocean signifying the mind....... very well done
Mind bears limitless thoughts....can excite magical things like precious gem as pearls of good ideas to the betterment of humanity!
@Shahzia, thanks Shahzia for the clarification. I think plagiarism is stealing pearls and gems of thoughts. Your poems are always thought-provoking.
thoughts are waves... nice one....10 thoughts are ship that keeps going on with no limit it has time now to greet
@Ms. Indira Babbellapati: done, indira ji, let's see when it appears here...thanks for the suggestion :)
wonderful! Reminds me of the book by John Steinbeck 'The Pearl'
Beautiful words picked from the depth of ocean. Few words said a lot. Fantastic poem with indepth meaning, Shahzia. Loved reading it. Thank you for the beautiful comments for my poems. Thanks.
Yasmeen Khan, good ideas and precious pearls both might be stolen, (that's why ideas should be discussed as inspiration with acknowledgement) , and there are gems, stones and pearls which can suit some but not all...the reference to an ominous pearl is there in the novel The Pearl by John Steinbeck too, where the protagonist throws it back into the ocean...thank you for the appreciation, and i am grateful to all poets who encouraged me here, and keep on encouraging me! ! !
Nice one Shahzia...So for the travelers, better read the waves, sail with the wind blows, and dive if you want...but ocean is wide as mind, we may lost if we forget the map.. find our territory, ethics_Soul
The poem gives a nice message apt analogy. Minds ARE like oceans, with waves of thoughts that bring oysters with pearls to the shore. (But why pearls may be ominous or stolen I couldn't grasp.)
short and melodious..........pearls of words wish i could steal...................................Thank u soooooooooooooooo much for the comment and remembering the date too...: -)
so nice a poem it is.. enjoyed it for its intrinsic quality..
Nice pattern in the poem recognizing the original by Ali Adamson. Only thoughts can be valuable and cannot be stolen. Beautiful rendering. Thank you.
Interesting expression depicts the unlimited realm of the mind and its beauty!
yes mind is like ocean waves over waves warm or in cold thoughts swashing between walls of mind yes/ bright
Yes, thoughts are like ocean waves. We have to be careful what thought we entertain.
