.

Today I somehow feel elated,

Though a shadow looms over my heart,

I don’t know what has me excited

Nor what appears to tear me apart,

A passion in me has been lighted,

My heart has woken up with a start.

How can I feel sad but delighted?

How can I feel such pleasure and smart?

Emotions which came uninvited,

Heart sailing seas outside any chart,

Spirit seeking answers long blighted;

The magic of it all feels like art

And science have at once united

Into something more than their compart.
