Residual Joy
Did you ever have one of those magical nights
When everything clicks into place?
When the stars are aligned and your mood is defined
By a flood of support to embrace?
Surrounded by loved ones and showered with warmth,
The smiles seem to sprout with no end.
You’re super aware that you cannot compare
What you feel, since it seems to transcend.
You want it to last but you know that it can’t,
So you try to just cling to a trace
Of those glorious vibes that a poet describes
As a rendezvous time can’t erase.
But you know things can’t stay at that memorable peak
For you must reconnect with the ground.
Still, you cannot deny that from feeling so high,
There’s residual joy to be found.
