Any fool
can get high.
It’s not too tough
a trick
to pull off.
All it takes
is a little cash
and a few chemicals
combined
as a dope concoction
to dose and douse
the day with.
Hell, some folks
can ride
such waves
in a peaked state
for months at a time.
But the true test in life
is passed by those
who learn how to sustain
on solid ground
even when water
may be crashing
all around.
Actually,
the only high that matters
in the end
is experiencing God
stare back
from your soulmate’s eyes.
The only people
who think that sounds cliché
are those too scared
to take the proper hit.
