[ungfh]

i think i would like to shout
loud as my voice dare let me
and hear every syllable over and over again
a chorus of baritones, whole and content
singing a song that i never could alone
and i think i would like it if i gazed up at the sky
at the moon and stars in their resplendence
and would drop softly to my knees shivering
crying for joy,
weeping for unworthiness
humbled and ecstatic
to know that they are a part of me
and i think that i would be happy
to feel every bone in my body shudder
every tendon and ligament tremble
every muscle ache and burn
teeth clacking
alive as the day i was born
more alive than any day since
and i think, too
that i should like it if you were there with me
my hand in yours
together in our humanity
shadowed by giants
outshone by the stars
impossibly small and meek and insignificant
but then i would look at you
and smile
and i think indeed
that would be something
