i held it in my hands,
an idea too far-fetched,
i remember staring at it.
of course it was beautiful,
it was an impossibility,
that i held close to my heart.
until it vanished, suddenly,
without so much as a warning,
i truly ought to have cried.
instead, i turned away,
an irresponsible keeper,
of my own ludicrous ideas.
i’ve not yet found another,
nor clearly recalled,
my mislaid vision.
i shall keep looking,
always for the beautiful,
struggling for the unobtainable.
for whatever reason i am,
peddler of the impossible,
cherisher of the absurd.
