did you ever stop wondering?

everyday, i wake up into the sun, scorching
always moping around my routinary life
for anything different i’m searching
trying to discern what i’m looking for

one day, you woke me up from my slumber
giving life to my empty quintessence
your words no matter how simple
animates my insipid existence

now, for your presence i wake up longing
so similar yet so different we seem
my heart longs to feel the wholeness of your being
you’ve rapt my soul supposedly invincible

your lips started to move
as you began your song
your voice broke into the silence
shattering the air’s idleness

you created a melody so powerful
breaking into my fatigued soul
warming my bitter heart
embracing my much jaded ears

I opened myself to the world
for a moment there .. I felt free
