A Beautiful Feeling

  

I can’t explain it

Beautiful feeling

Reeling from somewhere

That I cannot tell

Laughter and sorrow

And bittersweet

Stealing

Over the rampart of

Pulsing farewell

Hope and fulfillment

and longing unfathomed

streaming in

moment-drops

from here to there

draining an ocean

without sound or motion

filling the silence

with echo-drenched air

where uncurled fingers

touch traces that linger

only in thought

as the years disappear

and I can’t explain it

the beautiful feeling

of having and holding

wrapped up

in a

tear

...just got a crazy, beautiful feeling as I listened to this song... but cannot quite capture it in verse; this is sorta what I could shape it into...sort of the same feeling I had when hubby teased Emily (our daughter) yesterday at church and said, 'I remember you. You used to live at our place...'
