ephemeral joy

On very rare days, I feel okay, I feel happy.
It's like the flowers in my eerie forest, long dormant, are finally blooming,
It's like the sun, after endless cloudy days, breaks through,
It's like the warm, ethereal daylight, touches my icy skin.
It's all the beautiful feelings converging at once.

But as I bask in this rare joy,
A shadow whispers, "Perhaps something bad is coming. Perhaps you shouldn't feel this way."
And the smile that had taken root on my face
Is withered by my intrusive thoughts.
