Where has it gone
The thought I had a minute past
So fleeting, so ephemeral.
A problem solved?
Where do thoughts go
The ones I can’t retrieve
But nag from closets dimly lit
Within my mind
Perhaps a poem
Bright awesome in its clarity
It might have been a work of art
If ever found
And while I search
Continue on some lesser thoughts
Like words in ink I put to page
Assembled here

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I don’t get on WordPress that often These days. Fighting cancer is all consuming. But today I miraculously I did and Saw your lovely poem. It brought me a great deal joy.

Lesley, I can thank you enough, that you with your own problems at this time should take the time to read and like my poetry. I pray daily that your tumors will have diminished enough so that they can be removed. I want you completely well again.

Thank you. My tumors were removed Barbara, and I’m doing well. I had two surgeries. Then more chemo, and I just started a new and different type of chemo in pill form. This will be a treatment and maintenance pill. It’s been a little over a year since I was first diagnosed and given 6 months to live. So I’m very lucky and very, very grateful. It’s not easy, but as long as I’m still here, I’m a happy girl. Hopefully I’ll feel well enough to start writing again . Take care and keep writing you have such a gift.
