“Suddenly, as rare things will, it vanished.”

Elizabeth Barrett Browning says.

Each night I awaken from the mist of meaning, and profound words formulate,

and I repeat them,

but fail to write;

and so,

When I awaken each morn,

I resume daily consciousness essentially where I left off before falling asleep,

only to realize as rain pours onto my body in the shower,

that I hit upon something momentous

but now forget the words,

retaining only,

that feeling.
