strange days

it's a warm
feeling. heat.
a fire within.
it's in your belly,
your gut, your
heart and it rises
up, up to your
chin. it surrounds
you, compresses
you, explodes
inside of you,
and when
the tears fall
out they are not
your normal sort
of tears. they
are hot, they
are coming from
someplace behind
your eyes. from
deep within in a
place you didn't
know existed.
and there is no
sadness. it's a
sublime, ridiculous
joy. a feeling
of pure knowledge
and love. it's
crazy. i'm telling
it's absolutely
crazy. this feeling
that happened.
