I can only hope to express
these emotions
this sensation
with such abrupt precision
that you are forced to paint
the image
across your eyelids.
To take you where
thoughts exist only as
remnants of the past and
horizons of the future.
To dissemble the tightly guarded sanctuary
within your mind.
Let it fade away.
Into the void.
A phoenix to be born anew.
It becomes tiresome to lie awake
for hours on end
searching
hoping to recapture
one simple second.
That moment of clarity.
