falling in.............joy

i couldn't just walk
i had to run and jump
from crack to crack
in the sidewalk
i wanted to flail my arms around
and act like a airplane running
down the street
i wanted to yell out my windows
and just smile and say hi 
to every face i saw
i wanted to look around
and tell EVERYONE
i wanted to just express in
one word this feeling
that suddenly had 
overtaken me
this extreme emotion
that seemed like
it had always been 
apart of my body
i wanted to be able
to give this to those
sad faces i saw
i felt that my joy 
was not just my joy
but also everyone elses
if this is one piece of me
isn't it a piece of everyone
as we are all pieces of 
each other
i felt this in the night
i felt it walking down
the crowded city street
with the painted clouds to 
my west
with the building hovering
just below
the jeweled clouds
the blue felt a little more blue
and maybe looked
but i could feel their blue
and their gold mirrored
in my eyes
all the music in the world
wasn't fit for the music
that was now inside me
i stood in my forum
and i danced......
i sang at the top of my lungs
and i just SHOUTED OUT
i danced insanely
and i wept my tears
and let them fall to the floor
let them stain the streets
let the emotion stain the streets
and let it become part of it
let it become part of this
world that is hurting
let my tears
be something for them
and let my joy be part of 
theirs.....i give you my joy
