A Museing Tool

I am just going to type until I say something I am proud of or that sounds ... not just sounds, but IS .... profound.
oh my ... head shaking already at myself.
What a pompous plan! what about just something true to you? What about just a little thought that entertains your shallow self? What about a moment, a still beatutiful moment where your soul can stretch, yawn and blink before oepning its eye?
...
But the thoughts spin spin spinning around, which one to try and catch. Spin spin spinning so fast, what can I catch them with? The only ones I seem to retrieve are the ones that crash into a wall first, and so limping around, hobbled by tragedy, are easily captured.
So much and not enough. Where to start? Where to stand for the best view of my thoughts.Where to go? Where to say the things I want, how to make them stay not flee, my thoughts so quick and me so slow. My speeding thinking ... hurry hurry rush sprint push fast harder faster ... can you see my speedy thoughts, can you see my ponderous slow retriever?
One in air, one as if underwater .... my thinking, no blinking today, not slow enough to catch in mid-thought? That is my problem, I am a slow catcher. I need a net.
Can you imagine that net?
What it would need to look like?
Filament
the color of moonlight,
a luminous
blue white.
And as you swing it?
... like dancing in the dark,
That cogito net,
would be my retrievers pet.
.... A museing tool for me.
Oh, What a net for catching thought!
But, what a Merlin!
it would take to wrought
such a necessary instrument
for inspiration
to ease the burden
for idea creation!
My muse-ing tool,
oh my what a treasure to my thinking,
no more waiting for the blinking.
No more words to first unwind it
all inside my mind, it
that whirling dirvish dancing
a new kind of necromancing
that would be a
nice one for all.
and all for one.
Now wouldn't that be fun?
Can't you see a writer's garden
with our flutter-by nets?
Our retriver's pets?
They would make a cooing sound.
a distant lullaby all around
and floating near the ground
The shimmering of moonstone
ground so fine and fey.
What a sight to see!
Portents of
a precious perfect day!
And every captured thought
could create
a silver spark.
and glittering magic dust
should trail behind it.
Alas,
A shame,
The muse tool makers name?
I couldn't find it.
