Clarity
The Brink between infinity and conclusion grows from the pillar of understanding. Sweet melodies of temptation are always ever present to distract me from you. Secular entanglements, whose sole purpose is to drive me to non-conclusive dead ends. Often, I find you stupendously elusive of my mental grasp of comprehension. You become sifter and more cunning the more time elapses, and I have to dig deeper into my psyche for stability. You are almost synonymous with perfection in the sense that components of you can be reached but it's hard to fulfill you at 100%.

Mindfulness
With so much going on in the world, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and even numb. I think of this general feeling of nothing, numb like sitting on your feet as a young child. Lying on your feet so long, they would fall asleep. How, like this child, you would laugh as the blood started to rush back to your toes. This rushing sensation felt like a good tickle from a loved one.

Multifaceted
Each person born into the existence of time is created with a vast array of colors hidden within their soul. If you can imagine an artists color wheel. It goes from the whitest white to the deepest of black. In the middle there lies a bounty of colors. Icy Lemon to Sunburst Yellow. Periwinkle to Midnight Blue. Bubblegum Pink to Garnet Red and the colors go on and on.
