“Fragments”

By Amanda Wilbur

Fragmented Ideas

Floating in disconnect

A thought tries 

To form

Must keep working

Thinking

Through the pounding 

The clouding 

A shrouded bit of dust

The wisp of a thought 

Winds through the mist 

To find light 

It floats upwards

a moth to a flame 

Lightly blinking

A beacon 

I reach out

  graze the idea 

  Dissipate the fog

 need something concrete

My fingers find

 the glowing ball!

I hold it for a moment

Having found my resolve, my wits about me.

I try to keep hold

Yet in a puff 

Fragmen

ted

 Again
