Once it's Gone
Location
It comes quickly
Like a wave kissing the shore with its salty taste
Retreating slowly before it comes again
It's a feeling, a vibration
Like adrenaline
The heart moving faster
Renewing through the body repeatedly
Like a memory
One that comes with a smile
To be played over and over
In the mind
It's an annoyance
Once it's gone
Like something you're not sure you hate
Like rain
It's a blessing
Like something you can't go without
It's that feeling
It comes with movement
With dance
With turning and leaping
And feeling the rush of blood
That makes you feel alive
Once it's gone
It's a shadow
A pit of despair
Something to shrug off
Tears that fall
It comes quickly
Like fog creeping through a city
And it leaves without formality
As a distant memory
