Sensation
Take this sensation
And shrink it down
To the size of a stone
Hold it tightly in your hand
Until it becomes you
Not a part
An object you can use
A passing emotion
Subject to vagaries
No
This feeling is here to stay
Even when you must
Remind yourself
Even when you think
You dreamt it
Even when there is
Nothing good
It is still there
You are still there

Thoughts
