Eulogy For a Lost Poem

You gave me magical words this morning.
I should have stopped everything I was doing – 
to go write them down.

Words are precious fleeting, living things
And when ignored, do not stick around.

I knew the words were important
A Devine missive was given to me.

But life can get so busy
	Disrupting,
		Distracting,
Interrupting our thoughts.

The day’s plans and appointments’
Easily dissolve precious thoughts and words 
	Into a fog of forgetfulness
		Lost and scattered
			Fading…

Leaving me, regrettably
the knowledge - 
That you whispered an image Devine
Given me in a moment– 

And I was reckless…
I did not pause to acknowledge
or save it.
