Impossible To Define

How can I describe it?

It's so unusual,

Unexpected,

Like I'm glowing full of stars

Wrapped up with the clouds

And standing in the presence

Of the raging fires of the sun

But I will never burn.

How can I explain it?

It's so novel

And almost impossible.

It's so unlikely.

I'm so full of hope and doubt.

This kind of happiness

Can't possibly exist in this world.

How can I relate it?

Sleepless nights, as usual.

I can't run away,

But for once

I don't want to.

If this is a dream

Pray don't, no, never wake me up.

How can I understand

Or make you see?

I didn’t know that

These feelings were inside of me.

This strange sensation

Like a leech

Is sucking the pain from my life,

From my heart and my mind,

Forcing me to open my eyes

And open my heart.

It's a disease that has me trapped.

A beautiful disease.

How can I try to define it

When there are no words?

Not in our whole language

Or in any other.

It's as if I'm standing on a precipice

Leaning way too far over the edge,

But it doesn't matter if I fall.

I'll just spread the wings you gave me

And soar.
