i wrote it down once
i said that if it ever happened to me
i'd search the dictionary for words to explain
and i wouldn't stop til the language was exhausted
and all i can do is absorb the peace
it fell like the dew in the morning
we were just contented in our houses
behind our walls
or pretending to be
like modern man looking at everything through a lens
and someone threw open a window
all i can do is breathe in hallelujahs
all my tongue can speak is thanks
every corner illuminated with enchantment
the southern heavy heated summer nights can't suffocate it
and the rains can't wash it away
rather dance in it
and i could dance all night
it feels like all of the stars are the soundtrack
filled in with laughter spilling from the heavens
like a rainy season after a draught
and then, i find myself quiet
moved.
and unsure of what to say
content to be reticent
a quiet peace mingling in the flames
it sounds like all of my favorite songs
all of my favorite sounds
ebbs and flows
arms outstretched
happy to be overcome by this…
this orchestra weaving it's symphonies around me
like when we stood being wrapped up together
they danced around us
and some things blur
and some things become clearer
and some things disappear completely
and so many things unseen are waiting for us
waiting for us to make them move
