Top of the World

You don’t know it, but 

Sometimes, I go to a hill that overlooks 
the landscape’s mask of city lights 
For a sip of momentary grace. 
On this brink of everything I know, I can gain 
An eyeful of the lost Atlantis in the human soul, 
And a breath that fills my lungs with the air between two stars. 

If right now, you 
Were to capture this elation 
In the framework of your mind, 
Or find transcendence through these words, 
Then at most you would know 
Nothing 
Of the beauty your existence throws to me. 
For mine is a love no experience, 
No thought, no measure, no words 
Could ever degrade into reality by virtue of degree.
