gives me warmth
fills me with a moment of serene beauty
Itchy eyes
relieved by grateful tears
and a fluid feeling
that expels numbness
restoring balance
It is a quiet jubilation
such as I had envisioned:
a warmth touches me
that does not burn
that does not burn
a radiance fills me
that does not blind
that does not blind
there is the nucleus of it all
incredibly simple
as simple as myself
