TRYING TO DESCRIBE

The joy that I have...
The peace that I feel...
The love that I share...
        It's all very new,
                but "Oh," it is so real!
It fills my heart, soul and mind -
        every fiber of my being.
It overwhelms me at times
        and is often hard to describe.
It keeps me intoxicated
        with a clean, pure, "perfect high."
I'm changed into another person,
        someone I never knew;
A better, kinder, more loving one
        that I want to share with you.
