Up Days


up days
feel as if i
could do anything
and even fly

look up
the skies are blue
and all is good
and all are true

look down
the grass is green
my life is full
a healthy sheen

all around
all looks so fine
the colors glow
the textures shine

in me
i feel such joy
but can this last?
is this a ploy?

my dreams
they seem so near
can they come true?
or should i fear?

my goals
i hope to reach
will one stop me
to new goals teach?

my fears
abate for now
later i'll stop
and wonder how
