the moment has passed

you forget what you were
going to say, having
thought about it all day.
it was there, ready to be said,
but somehow slipped
away. you had the perfect
answer for her, for them,
for everyone,
but it's gone.
tonight, while lying
in bed, you'll remember
this gem of
insight, but what
good will it do you now.
the moment has passed.
you need to start writing
these things down.

Too often your moments of insight
these days come when you are far away
from paper or pen,
computer or phone. anything to write
down the pure gem you are sure
is residing somewhere
within you, just waiting
to be put into words
