Does it have to be so clear to you always?

Must things always come in flashes of brilliance,

flashes of light?

Do your visions gleam from your eyes

in color in black and white?

Does your mind know no stillness?

///

Flashes pause across your mind

and move slowly,

ever so slowly,

just so you can gaze in wonder

at the marvel you’ve become.
