My Natural High

you were beautiful

from the golden entrance of light through wispy fog

you shone

I had chosen you to be the one

through the harsh hours of a relentlessly bright sky

you endured with me

you were my "natural high"

they had told me to find a "natural high"

'til the colors faded in a dazzling show

when you gleamed red

under the dissipating gold

even as the deep night unfolded

you slowly pulsed a deeper blue

as I waited for the next show of gold

when I would choose anew
