Can you hear it?
Humming through the street
Down the alleys of the soul
Clearing all debris
Where are all the faces?
Laughing, smiling, cheering
Back to boring life
A vast empty clearing
Why am I breathing?
Wasting useful space
Searching for a reason
To escape this never-ending race
I can hear him coming
Roaring through the trees
Changing all the atmosphere
With his soft, ferocious breeze
Glimpsing perfect features
Lips and hands and nose
Sweetness overwhelming
Counting all the toes
Feeling his heart beating
Syncing mine with his
Is he really mine?
Quick, seal it with a kiss
This, this is why I’m breathing
Why I’m running in this race
Life no longer boring
Enraptured by that face
Welcome to the party
Deep within my soul
Never to recover
I’ve relinquished all control
