One Feeling or Many?

No feeling in the expanse of world

can beat this breezy lightness…

This sense that there’s a hand to hold

through alleys lit with darkness


The knowledge that my step might trip

And yet I will not fall

The certainty that if I do

I’ll have a name to call


The desire to stay who I am

And yet be someone better

The faith that whoever I be

Will be doubtless embraced forever


The dream of a cozy pair of arms

Wrapping my whole lifetime

The fear that daylight just might steal

This precious dream of mine


The trust that despite all the fears

I ought to nurture this dream

The joy that makes my heart so proud

And fills me up to the brim


The sensation of the eternity

Seeping into my being

The rhythm of a melody

My heart’s learning to sing


It’s all so rightfully perfect

And all so perfectly right

It’s magic that I see all day

It’s a perfectly magical night
