- They intrude,
- Sometimes pushing urgently,
- Sometimes insidiously,
- Other times gently calling, beckoning.
- Yes, they take over.
- Thoughts of you.
- Are you mad at me?
- What are you thinking?
- What are you doing?
- Yes, they take over.
- Thoughts of you.
- When you are near or far.
- At work or at home,
- Even at play.
- Yes, they take over.
- Thoughts of you.
- Lovingly or angrily.
- Thoughtful or in jest.
- Even playfully.
- Yes, they take over.
- They intrude!

- I wrote this poem when on a business trip. It was noticeable how thoughts of my wife came to my mind. They definitely intruded when I was in meetings, after the meetings, in the evening or as I was waking up in the morning.
