A Plea to Clarity by Austin

don't go
stay
come back, please

when sound judgement sways
you set it right
when blood boils
you cool it running through its veins
when dark surrender beckons
you gently set my gaze afar
to give me peace and hope

o clarity, you are fickle
like all life's greatest gifts
you are a wave that crashes
not to be understood
in your comings and goings
what calls you forth
or draws you away

but I beg you, stay
my wretched flounderings
yield only to your power
come, stay a while please
let me climb upon your shoulder
carry me kindly through, set me at ease
