The Answer

I almost had the answer.
But as I held it in my hand,
it fluttered away. I thought
that might have been it, the fluttering.
Each whisper wing beat displacing
a breath of air. The absence.
The fullness. I didn’t have the gall
to reach out and grasp for it,
for fear it would have turned to mist.
It was enough to almost have it.
Watching it flutter away.
It was enough to almost have it.

I loved the imagery. We always search for answers but are sometimes afraid of what they might be. The greatest compliment I can give, I wish I had written this.
