Ten Seconds Away From Tears

In a moment of perfect clarity
do we really see the moment
As clear as a reflection in the
Mirror or are we blinded by
the certainty of an illusion.

In a moment of perfect clarity
do we really hear the moment
as clear a crescendo or are
we deafened by the certainty
Of a commotion.

In a moment of perfect clarity
do we really speak the moment
As clear as a conversation or
Are we confused by the certainy
Of an expression.

In those moments of perfect
clarity when time is all you have,
What would it take to have you
Ten seconds away from tears.
