Sometimes for a split moment, a flash,
a sudden BURST of an incredible thought occurs to me.
And like an inspiration or an awakening to life-
a single breath of truth washes over.
And everything becomes clear-
Clear to me like the sky.
And this sudden realization shakes from deep within,
Rushing, and gushing, and pouring all about.

Sometimes for a split moment, a flash, in a momentary place of solace,
I find and understand-
That hidden behind this web of fear and wonder lays an unexpecting gem.
A diamond in its strength,
A ruby in its passion,
The human heart that fails, but continues to love and try again.
