Far-fetched and Free

     

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he:Prov.23:7

image source; public form

You came to me, far-fetched and free

And I did not restrain you

But chose instead, inside my head

To grandly entertain you

…and what began as nothing but

A thought unforced, unbidden

Provoked my will often until

It was no longer hidden

And what began as far-fetched thought

Free and un-reprehended

Became the very thing I did

Because I entertained it
