What Is This Poem by Danusha Marie

What is this sensation welling inside
A vague familiarity tantalizing
Suggests a light shining with pride
I’ve known it before, the bell does ring

What is this tickling of youthful type
Tugging at places covered in webs
A lonely place is swelling with hype
This feeling flows but never ebbs

What is this urge to smile at life
Leaving me restless in my own skin
I’ve lived for years comfortable in strife
Yet stepping out of comfort is no sin

What is this rise against my norm
Taking shape and taking its place
A beginning of beauty I feel take form
My breath is sharper, my heart does race

What is this wondrous wake of emotion
Stirring dust for a spot to begin
Making waves of love and devotion
I believe I know, I’m happy again
