This elusive "it"

4.(used to represent a concept or abstract idea understood or previously stated): It all started with Adam and Eve. He has been taught to believe it all his life.
9.(used in referring to a source not specifically named or described): It is said that love is blind.

Oceans overflow with it
skies beam in extremity of it
souls gravitate towards it

Rays extend my heart
each to its own direction

and length

This sensation of thankless joy
overwhelms my desires-

To bottle this feeling would leave me in
complete ecstasy


With glee or simple acceptance
of being-
the illumination occurs,
replenishing the drought all endures
during loss of love.

The deplorable crime:
Not all ever taste a drop.
