A Thought

Though the witching hour was well past

And Night its starry dragnet had ably cast

Without a sound, very stealthily, it crept

Even as I, so unsuspectingly had slept.

With such skilful legerdemain

It invaded my very private domain

Then after burying itself in my mind’s recess

When suddenly it bubbles up to the surface,

An eternal question to be asked, will be

Do I possess it or it possesses me?
