High Spirits

At last, I've learned to live inside all of this beauty

And bask

Bask in the glow of high spirits

Spirits

To finally feel the pull of joy

Not merely observe it

No longer will I wrest

Myself from its hold

I know it looms, just out of view

A storm which I'm uncertain

And calm will follow

I know it looms, such is the quall

But does my fear have warrant?

When I did form it?

Hold fast, these clouds mask a sun

Whose rays will make stark my darkest shadow?

I have felt this

Bearing down on me forever

And all of a sudden I feel it is lifted

Spirits
