In a Bottle

In a Bottle

 

Of all the splendors in this world

There are few things

We ever get to fully appreciate

 

Lightning strikes

But I’ve never seemed

To have a bottle handy

’Til you gave me one

 

Mezmerized by how quickly

You’ve appeared in my life

A droplet of joy

Forms in my eye

 

I won’t hold you forever

You can come and go as you please

But this lightning in a bottle

Is all I’ve ever needed
