from where do ideas come?
I know, the brain, you may say,
or the mind, but it wasn't there
yesterday,
or even a moment earlier,
do they come from God,
a Higher Power, Universal Consciousness?
or is it just gray matter
coming together in new and unique ways?
I know I wasn't that smart,
or creative, or thoughtful
in all my many previous days,
to add a thought, one to another,
and build upon all that came before,
if only I had these ideas so long ago,
my own ignorance, I may have cured.
