I had a great idea for a poem,
A succinct nugget of insight
which summarized and symbolized
and synthesized
One of the secrets of life.
It was so profound and moving
and true at the core,
I didn’t write it down.
I knew I would remember.
I didn’t.
So, I can’t share it with you.
I can only believe it
still lives somewhere in me,
Somwhere currently incommunicado
with my conscious mind,
and that it can teach me
what I don’t remember
but need to learn.
