Ethereal rays

I have tried to touch love 

and feel it's essence in me 

soaking, drenching drowning, 

i feel the joy of the rain 

and life 

and freshness 

pelting me like countless darts 

igniting my very soul 

into lighting up with joy. 

and i dance and skip, 

clear laughter ringing all around,

cleansing my very being 

with shards of ethereal rays, 

within and without. 

And i let go, ceasing to exist, 

and i feel whole, alive, as in awe i see, 

the meaning of life

alluringly swirl in the palm of your hand.
