I can't grasp it

It is right in front of me,

 but fades.

I know I must continue,

 but it was so close!

Each random repetition is only practice.

Now,

  if I manage to accomplish,

    pause and think about it,

       even a small part of my goal.

I fear I will not know.

This feeling -- yes -- something like when I was trying to fix the bathroom fan on Saturday. Finally, I just had to let it go.

I don't know, maybe I just get you.

I think we are always grasping. Why else would we keep writing?
