after the highs

My mind is in a wild frenzy; anticipation is to over the trees
Something special will soon happen; I feel this in my fiber
I am excited about the possibilities; there are a plethora
Settle down, some say; but how could I? It’s a grand day
A day for picnics, for beach balls, for carnivals and balloons
My bones are dancing with enthusiasm; my heart is thumping
I can feel the heartbeat in my neck too; my body knows
Something strange and wild and wonderful is happening.
This is a high like I have never had before; the ultimate high
Suddenly I realize that I have had this high before,
And after the high comes the lows.
