Thought

FredPeyer

A thought flattened beneath

A thousand others

More important and more

Timely

 

A thought, not dead

Just barely

Surviving

Hanging on

 

Faintly hoping to

Be resurrected one day

To be brought back

Into glorious consciousness

 

A thought given up for dead

Lost in the system

With nobody looking or

Searching for it

 

But the day will come

When for whatever reason

That thought will be the

Most important of all thoughts

 

But by then it might be too late

    Thoughts can often be misplaced never to be seen again. Good write Fred.

  • FredPeyer

    Thanks Goldfinch! Happens to me more and more!!! 🙂

  • Michael Edwards

    Thoughts about poems but no pen to hand - soon forgotten - I'm there all the time - enjoyed the read Fred

    • FredPeyer

      Thanks so much Michael!

    • MaddieJ

      I laughed as I finished reading because it reminds me of how often I lose a thought!!! Good write!

      • FredPeyer

        Thanks virago! I guess we are all in the same boat!

      • Frank Prem

        And the thought will be your poem Fred. Keep your notepad handy.

        • FredPeyer

          Thanks Frank! I have to admit that I don't carry any notepads around with me. Had some great ideas while driving, couldn't remember a thing by the time I got home!

          • Frank Prem

            It's always the way, Fred. Always. So many good poems adrift out there in the ether, for want of pen and paper.

            • FredPeyer

              Maybe I should get one of these small dictating machine recorders. Or maybe there is an app for the phone. Gotta check that out!

            • orchidee

              A fine write Fred. Was there ever any thoughts in me head to start with?! Are me lights on, but no one at home?! lol

              • FredPeyer

                Thanks Orchidee! There are days where I feel like that exactly! And sometimes even the lights are out!

              • orchidee

                Know what you mean - on occasions a poem may come from 'nowhere' but then forgotten. No pen and paper to hand.

              • Mugsdaddy

                Excellent choice of topics. We all have those moments where the universe aligns all the pieces fall into place and we have these amazing ideas that will change the world. Then we commit them to memory only forget them behind the grocery list or the doctors appointment or... Or... A what was I talking about? Oh yea I need yogurt.

                • FredPeyer

                  Thanks Mugsdaddy! Yeah, It can get pretty hairy out there in poem thinking land! And if you don't forget, get some yogurt for me too!

                • dusk arising

                  Ahhh thats one of those top of the stairs moments isn't it 'now what have i come upstairs for?'

                  • FredPeyer

                    Thanks da! Do you believe in the hereafter?
                    I do, every time I walk to the bedroom, stand there, and go "what am I here after?"

                  • Louis Gibbs

                    I had a fleeting thought on a clever response to this poem ... but, alas! You speak for us all, Fred.

                    • FredPeyer

                      Thank you Louis, great comment, LOL!

                    • WL Schuett

                      My memory sucks I always forget things and never seem to get back thoughts I've had and lost Definitely relate

                      • FredPeyer

                        Thanks WL, I can relate! Usually have to hold my head sideways so the little bit of brain I have is all in one place!

                      • myself and me

                        Short lived thought vanished in the universe, no where to find.
                        Today's thought has been saved here.

                        • FredPeyer

                          Wouldn't it be great to have a thought memory stick?

                          • myself and me

                            I am sure there will be one in the future, but even the memory stick is not reliable. If it broken, you would lost all your memories.

                          • lasergraph

                            Good piece. I have had many thoughts that just died of loneliness.

                            • FredPeyer

                              Thank you lasergraph, and the older I get the more I seem to loose!
