I'm Going to Try

I'm going to try to describe
that feeling that I said
couldn't be described.

It is breathing deep on top of a green hill
where there is bluish morning mist hovering

It is sensing the blood pulsing along your cheekbones
and trying to keep your chest from bursting as it swells

It is smiling uncontrollably as your airways constrict
because you're just so happy to be alive

It is floating away as your head becomes a balloon
and laughing like a maniac at the stupidest jokes

It is swimming in the deep black sky, full of jeweled stars
and never, ever worrying about drowning in its depths

It is running down a hill as fast as you can go
and it's effortless to speed up forever

It is dreaming that your wildest dreams have come true
and you're flying above every one of your problems

It is living forever in a place where white is all around
and there's nothing left between you and your destination

It is dancing eternally to a quiet rhythm
With bare feet and soft steps, soft steps

It is amazing!

It is joy
