Distraction

Distraction

I met an errant thought today,

As she peeked playfully around my preoccupation and beckoned me,

I followed her as she tread softly though the clamoring din of my most pressing concerns.

I trailed her as she shimmered over the mists of my gloom,

Almost caught up as she darted through the cobwebs of old memories,

Watched in wonder as she danced through the resplendent hall of happy thoughts,

Until she suddenly disappeared in the vast nothingness,

And left me wondering if it was she that was alluring,

Or the promise of the journey
