to be high...

to be high is to
have the world
at your fingertips
and the devil
in your shirt pocket.
to be high is to
have life pass you by
as a chorus sings mother
and stillness is surrounding.
to be high is
a pain behind your left ear
that defies diagnosis.
the one that seems to
bring up that terrible memory.
to be high is to
tell someone that without them,
the wind doesn't smells
as sweet as it once did.
to be high is to
see the heaven in brown eyes
and a silky white complexion.
to wish the world it's best.
