Euphoria

Unbeknownst to me another day passes, my thoughts free of you.

On the night I met my healing,

and remembered my peace,

I found the stars to be simple and bright.

The mourning came and went, and our love was laid to rest.

It happened slowly, quietly.

And in that silence, I found clarity

When the stars, simple and bright,

Shone against the blank canvas of the night sky:

A glimpse of euphoria.

I wasn't searching, for I was empty.

It found me, and I've overflowed since.
