A Feeling Suffusing My Being Poem by Margaret Alice

As I surfed the Internet I came across the
most beautiful words I ever read, staring
in charmed fascination, feeling my heart
swelling in elation, words kindling a dream -
which is all I wanted, I’m scared of so many
things and I had grown too scared to dream;
then the ability to cherish beautiful ideals was
awakened again, filling my mind with sublime
thoughts and celestial images

I had read that we don’t have to be abundant,
beautiful, unique, special and gifted to attract
well-being, but we must be able to feel these
things; once I had lost the freedom to dream,
I had nothing and suddenly I received a won-
derful gift, the capacity to dream, experiencing
the wonders described by the author, a feeling
of such love and gratitude suffusing
my being, a vision of ecstasy...
