i cannot seem to fathom
how these words hold a world
of feeling, of breath
of warm golden sun
and of tranquil waves
dancing like ribbons
to the invisible tune of currents
my heart seizes, pleasantly
i am floating
in another world
where dew and ray
share a plate of spaghetti
and waltz to soft callings of
underwater whispers
turquoise, aquamarine
springs of green amid
slivers of silver
sunlit dust
descending, descending
like a moon landing
onto velvety fingertips
butterflies of the ocean
they flutter freely
behind my ribcage
and i know
where the seagrass meadows
bloom
there you'll find me

I forgot where I came across this phrase 'seagrass meadows' but it immediately evoked such indescribable pleasant emotions. I'm not sure if there is a term for this phenomenon (I think probably have but I can't seem to find it even after extensive googling) but have you ever had this enormous surge of feels at a word or phrase? Seagrass meadows is my feels-phrase, it's my favourite place.
