Once I Thought

Once I Thought

With once a thought, a thought once more,
once more a thought to destroy,
once more a thought to create,
once more a thought, a thought once thought.

Living and giving,
taking and breaking,
without a thought,
to live and take a thought not yours.

With once a thought, a thought once more,
once more a thought to cry,
once more a thought to die,
to lie, to sigh,
once more a thought, a thought once thought.

With once a thought, a thought once more,
a thought to give,
give up, lay down,
a thought to forfeit,
with once a thought, a thought once more.

Once I thought, I thought once,
thinking
life, enjoyed is life,
life dreaded is embedded
in thought of despair,
once I thought, I thought once.

Once I thought, I thought once,
of living,
of giving,
but nay instead I lay taking and breaking
ensuring
I stay in mend,
ensuring
I stay,
Once I thought, I think no more.
