Sitting with an Idea

A kernel of an idea emerged in my brain

It lodged there and threatened to drive me insane

By repeatedly intruding on my thoughts

I tried to get rid of it, but I could not..

The idea seemed too preposterous for me

To try to act on immediately

I tried to forget about its existence

But removing it from my memory was met with resistance

*

I did not act on the idea- not then, not the next month, not even the next year

It faded in the background but did not disappear

Years later it came back suddenly to me

Almost in the form of an epiphany

This time I could not come up with an excuse

Not executing the idea was something I could no longer choose

*

So I started expanding the idea that had taken root years ago

Hopefully soon the fruits of my labor shall be ready to show
