all around the light

it’s the nights when this overwhelming happiness bears down on me, crushing me under the weight of an inexplicable love, a love for every being on earth, a love so pure, i can feel its weight even while it elevates me beyond time or space or matter- in the blink of an eye all hope and happiness merge and blend with an infinite sadness, suddenly there you are, a mere cup filled and drained simultaneously, till the cup disappears and only a river remains- soft music plays, gentle steel strings plucked in time, a voice telling stories which resemble your own, it’s the nights like this when i know i am alive.
