Effervescence
all of these things that I chase around
that bump and rattle inside of my heart
noises and voices, illusions of choices
soft-coated with a velvet alibi
these things that take root here deep inside
weeds that suffocate the blossoms nearby
fragrant petals falling down one by one
runners choking each with a little white lie
if I can block out the buzz of what is past
that effervescence with all of its fizz
it tickles inside as I drink it down
leaving a gritty reminder on my crystal glass
as the moon works its phases through each of my nights
as a new star glows brightly on my evening horizon
as the blindside of my heart is illuminated
I see how it is supposed to be
