I lost a good idea…
It just slipped my mind,
as suddenly as it arrived.
The very next thought…
that it may never return
terrifies me absolutely.
The thoughts after this…
are even more terrifying
that the previous…
What if…
I pine ‘endlessly’ for a thought
that isn’t there anymore…
What if…
this happens
on my deathbed?
What if…
this disturbs me so badly,
that my last thought isn’t peaceful?
What if…
I become so upset
that I have an ill rebirth?
Even if what lost was a good idea,
it will no longer be good.
May I then just be mindful of Amituofo!
