Emanations: Don't Hold That Thought

I thought I had an idea
But then I lost it again,
How quickly the head-noise flickers,
So fast I can’t catch it,

But what’s this need for speed?
So what if I miss it?
Is it that important?
Or can I drop it and move on?

Still there’s so much here,
An infinity, it would appear,
Too much to corral
Or hold here and now;

I watch it come and go
And as I wonder
How it came to be
It’s already flown,

Like clouds blown
Across the endless sky,
Here for a short while
And gone in a moment,

Where do they go?
And from whence to do they arise?
I haven’t a clue
And at last just enjoy the show.

I’ll never get it written down
And so, finally let it go,
These boisterous notions
That flow past and disappear,

Until I barely recall
They were here,
I wave goodbye,
Get up from my seat and hang out
Another load of laundry to dry.
