Mental Orphan

Sometimes that thought

passing through my mind

cannot connect

with its final destination

no matter how hard I try

to force the conclusion to completion

it remains an orphan,

floating around

in a sea of possibility

and without a life vest.

Then, not much time left

for it to be rescued.

Time, is the active ingredient

in all of this.

Soon, there are so many new thoughts

who need feeding

that the original is abandoned

to the orphanage of thought.

Perhaps, one day, it may find a way out

of itself to completion.
