A sense of joy

Walking by a river looking at soft waves

Enjoying silence before the storm rages

All I hear is the birds chirping in the trees

A silent song in my ears carried by a breeze

I'm the only one here besides ducks floating

In this quiet moment this is all I'm noticing

A warm sense of joy goes through my body

If only I could stay never missing this beauty

In the water I see my wishes in the shimmer

But when I wake up the river is just a river

The agonizing hole grows bigger each time

As I realize the life, in the dream isn't mine

The warm sense of joy suddenly disappears

Once again, a grey cloud above me reappears

I hope to see the end of the rainbow one day

Until it happens, I have some demons to slay
