I see the moment in front of me like a tempting sweet. And I want it. I want it so bad I want it more than anything I’ve ever had. Clarity. That’s what they call it, but for me, it’s much more. For me, it’s a mindset; something I want for eternity. Alas, it leaves. And like a widow, I grieve. The ink on paper evaporates, turning it back to white. And that’s when I wish I could scream into the void- call to Niflheim to come devour me. But I can’t. Because that’s when I’m hit with my greatest gift: my clarity. It makes a rift inside my mind and speaks in a way I can’t communicate. But it won’t stay. I know it. It’s the forgotten Juliet and I’m the Romeo. And I know my love for it won’t ever fade, so I persevere... hoping clarity will greet me again one day.
