I’m drinking laughter;
Oh god the taste
is intoxicating...
has my head spinning
I'm screaming
how beautiful it all seems
embracing all my arms
can possibly hold
squeeze tight the
phenomenon of light
touching everything
with the tip of my tongue
swallowing whole
all that I know
and greedily begging
for more.
No lullaby, I’m walking
wide awake
stealing everything
I could possibly take
making it mine...
making it mine...
making it mine...
It’s a beautiful day
It's always
a beautiful day.

A magical dance in the moonlight, so beautifully combined with your enthusiastic dance of words, dear Dawn.
