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.

It appears to be a futile struggle, though alas we do it anyway.
WELCOME GOODMAN ~ Thanks for your first poem ! I can empathise ~ I'm a Scientist and I often loose sleep pondering unanswerable problems and chasing elusive CLARITY !
YES ~ It does become tiresome ~ lying awake for hours ~ hoping to recapture ~ That moment of CLARITY ! However it was only by day-dreaming of snakes ~ on a London Bus ~ that Kekule perceived BENZENE (C6H6) to be a regular planer hexagon of carbon atoms each with a carbon attached ! James Watson (23 !) wrestled in the night hours and perceived DNA to be a perfect complementary Double Helix ~ the most significant biochemical structure in the whole Universe. Rosy Franklin ~ who had done the essential X-ray crystallography ~ saw the model and said "It is too beautiful not to be correct". We have to "Learn to Dream before we can discover the TRUTH" Note that all MOLECULAR & CRYSTAL structures must obey the Laws of Mathematics to be correct ! Maths is KING ~ Physics is QUEEN ~ Chemistry a PRINCE and BIOLOGY a Princess ~ AMEN Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK) Please check my POEM on BEARS and my FUSION on FISH (you have to click on DEVELOPING to see it and add a POEM on FISH !) ~ Thanks B !
