A Solitary Thought

A solitary thought formed in my mind
Way back in nineteen hundred fifty four
I laughed as it made things become so clear -
Why,I asked, have I not seen it before

I let it percolate there in my brain
As it generated new trains of thought
Paths of tomorrow were clear in my eyes
And tactics were formed for battles I fought

Now I look back from eighty years of age
And I must marvel at what the brain does
I think of that single important thought -
And I smile as I wonder what it was
