PRESQUE VU

The world changing idea was like a word on the tip of my tongue
But this notion eluded me like a vaguely remembered song unsung
This vague insight was a ghost seen from the corner of my eye
I cannot quite define it regardless of how much I do try
Presque vu is so frustrating and so tantalizingly close
But in the end it leaves me feeling so sad and so blue and ultimately morose.

(Noun – the intense feeling of being on the very brink of a powerful epiphany, insight, or revelation, without actually achieving the revelation)
