poetry: a developing novice attempts to capture thoughts and observations

The poet inside
Ideas pass through me, like wind howling through trees
Memories and creations fill my mind, yet stay only briefly
Wishing I could hold on to these sparks seems a pipe dream
And yet they keep on coming - fast, relentlessly
Imagination is a gift we all possess
Mine works in hyper drive - scrambled - a mess
It feels like I'm in fast forward, images whizzing by
It feels like I'm living too quick - too young to die
Putting the brakes on feels like an eternity
Slowing down the pace is a wishful luxury
I no longer control this, it has taken over me
Manic thought creation is what my life has to be.
