To Answer My Own Question

To Answer My Own Question

There is an answer
In retrospect
But not the perfect clarity
One may be misled to believe

Time alone
Cannot be held responsible
For such an understanding
For the epiphany
Found in the present

There is an answer
In the moment
But an answer charged
By electrifying, intensifying, clouding emotions

Emotion alone
Cannot be clear
While pure and unfiltered
It must be tempered
For future's trials

There is an answer
Out of reach
But so long as the hand stretches
It might just grasp it

Stretching alone
Will only leave you stretched too thin
Across the unforgiving coals
Of impatient inactivity
So, combine your hope with action

Take a hold
Of the questions
And from them
Search for, find, and learn
From the answers
