Lost Poem

Did you ever sit down to write a verse and then suddenly as quick as it came, it burst, and then, it's gone, dispersed? Some inspired thought for song or poem that felt just right and flowed easily along then slipped away, lost burn. Perhaps, the thought that sparked was too quickly lit and failed to catch the fires heart, doused and quickly extinguished the mark. Silent, alone and pondering its recovery the attempt remains lost without discovery of the poetic flow still hovering. Newer words formulate the idea laid but don't quite meet the price cost and paid and the poem penned has strayed.
