My Thought

My thought

As I see

Frequently and often 

Will abandon me


It arrives at times

With a knock at my door

And sometimes when 

I am getting ready to snore

Sometimes it will, with

Many thoughts merge 

And soon thereafter 

It will diverge 


It contains me 

As feelings swing

Then suddenly gives

A hope to cling

Sometimes rich, then poor

Often modest and 

Then on occasion 

Brilliantly grandeur 


In crowds 

Solitude it may pretend 

In silence present 

A different trend 


It makes me 

Relish a divine state

Casts a spell 

And then abate


In turmoil, my

Conscience it will awaken 

Tough to tell what it renders 

And what it has taken 


Takes me out 

Of religious litany 

Beyond the horizon 

Into spiritual epiphany 


Slowly it may creep

Sometimes a fast quest 

Within its shroud

My emotions will arrest 


It may not come 

At times upon request 

And then sometimes 

Lingers on, like an unloved guest 


I am not my thought 

And my thought is not me

Without it however

It is not to be 


I know my thought 

Will often times abandon me 

And then I long for it 

To return to me.
