Chasing a Thought
 
If the words could be found
I’d say something profound
That would inspire heart and mind
If just that thought I could find
And it wouldn’t be this time
Some silly idea with a rhyme
But something greater, something apart
That would inspire readers
   to tear the page and hold it to their heart
But no muse, no nature does inspire
Critical thought or such passion desire
That would drive my feeble pen
To share a beautiful thought from within
These two sides of my brain
No germ of idea, not a single grain
Lost forever in clouded rhyme I fear
Until there’s a thought I find dear
And those words would be found
Allowing me to say something profound
Like, simply…  “love one another”
