A Mind Off-Grid, Nr.01 - The Cycle Of The Thing

For a while I thought it was a bad thing        
but giving it some time to breathe and tell its story        
        
I subsequently saw it was a good thing        
and further allowing it to play out long and free        
         
I eventually experienced it as just a thing.        
         
Indulging it with yet more time        
I observed the thing in other people        
and finally far away on the distant horizon --    
         
as I sub-consciously waved it a mental ‘bye-bye’        
the next bad thing was slowly creeping up on me.
