An ecstatic 
                    burst of joy caught me
earlier this afternoon

I don't know why it sought me
I didn't know t'was in the room

I'd been eyeing the words you wrought me
When the shot shot through

And with no material force it fought me
then it left
                 after dispelling my gloom.

An ecstatic

there when eyes sealed, 
there in my thoughts, and in my dreams,
haunting me day and night, 
are you the faded past or a glimpse into the future ?
