Give,
become sated, satisfied, fullfilled.

The sensation is like helium.
Our body becomes the shadow
hinged on the substance of our souls.

Our experiences ~ for good ~ like feathers, dew, and kisses
   ~ for bad ~ like rocks of varying size and weight

The kisses whisper from the past to remind us
of their queer, but wonderful endowment to the living.

The rocks, hold them dear, or throw them away.
If we store them, however, there is a price to pay.
They cost energy, vaulted in the chambers of our hearts.
