it is late and i am wired
he sky seems to boil with light and energy
clouds morphing from shape to shape
seemingly instantaneously
this condition of mine can be so elemental
tidal waves of potent shifting moods commandeering my mind
sun-moon-stars-storms
all demanding introspection and proffering insight
i know i need stability
but so desperately crave the manic and hypomanic extremes that offer such tantalizing heightened sensations
to love is elemental
to cry is elemental
but to be hypnotized by the elements is to come as close as we mortals can to the cosmically divine
