I had a great thought this morning.
I even asked a pithy question about it.
It was wise!
It was funny!
It was probing and deep!
And, yet!
It has left me.
I can’t tell you how many golden thoughts I’ve lost.
When my mind has teamed up
With a few rebel moments
To bury my gold.
In the darkness of me.
With any luck they’re preserved
In a time capsule
To be discovered again
When I am in need of joy or wisdom.
And I will make sure to write them down for posterity’s sake.
