Sometimes
I am absolutely ignited
in my veins and my blood
to be something.
To make whatever I want
and to become who I am,
to be.
And it is the most
intensely bittersweet feeling
I know, it is so hard to describe
unless you too have felt
the gripping pain and
unending joy
of knowing what you want
from your life,
of knowing beyond
human doubt
where you must go
and what you must make.
Nothing is as
life-changing
and spirit-bending as
these moments of
clarity and undiluted awareness
-in which the body
sighs and the soul
alights.
These moments are
fires, they are sparklers
or flares in the deep night,
bright awareness.
There is knowing.
Awareness of art.
Of difficulty.
Of ambition.
Of determination.
These blinding, fiery moments
remind me of why I am
still here and why I am
still living.
