Clarity

Some experience a feeling

It comes and goes like tides

Momentary hesitation... its fleeting

Yet only to yourself, you confide.

An urge so immensely powerful,

It's a miracle you haven't given in.

It pulses and makes you doubtful

Decisions of old made within.

You recognize the battle coming

Fighting to maintain your stance.

An itch caused by wool clothing

Not of loins but of mind's chance.

Like a fork in the road, so it feels

Jumping from a cliff, depths gleaming.

Gathering your armor, you conceal

Rein it in, keeping it within, dreaming.

Hold yourself steady, you have a goal.

Chin high, smile to keep it at bay.

For all within that you can't console.

will only last until it whisps away.
