The Ultimate Feeling

The unarticulated sound rises above the useless chatter,

As the universal sound of happiness lets out a cry,

The feelings of loneliness, worry, and despair begin to scatter,

It’s hard to let this feeling run awry,

Suddenly nothing else seems to matter,

But the feelings that this sound implies,

The body is consumed, and in a true state of elation, rid of all the useless clatter,

That consumes the brain at times, that can lead to ones demise,

It can be as contagious as any disease,

And stronger than any vaccine,

Yet there are many degrees,

Some forms are sure to cause a scene,

While others are but a small tease,

Some forms are very keen,

While others provoke feelings of ease,

Some are lucky enough to have their entire lives full of it,

While others yearn for that feeling,

It can be blamed on those with a quick whit,

Or to those who fall from a ceiling,

Necessary to carry through all of life’s pits,

The ultimate feeling.
