Fleeting Thoughts
by Mac McGovern
We write our thoughts,
not to forget,
but,
to document
a moment of fleeting thought
shared from memory,
then gone forever.
Thoughts converted to memories
as age surges toward twilight,
expressed as vivid reenactments
of history and genealogy.
To let memory pass into obscurity,
decry the sadness that exists
in the mind of man.
We write our thoughts,
not to forget,
but,
to document,
to learn what the mind is teaching,
as,
fleeting thoughts flow through
the mind,
soon lost forever.
