In Everything That Is
As I stand at a distance and watch them dance in the street
the music consumes me
I become lost in the beat
Though the bass now moves me like an animated thing
making me glide slide dip and spin
you've been dancing here with me
You're in everything
Now the music has ended my body hits the ground
I lay there powerless
no motion no sound
Its at times like these the emptiness comes creeping in
swift and sharp
like a bee sting
With just the whisper of your name I am no longer bound
in my deepest despair
You can still be found
After the ordeal I rise anew and continue this journey assisted by you
Until this flirtatious figure captures my sight
tempting my skin with the promise of delight
So I followed the road led by the little head
and found myself laying in a scarlet bed
wrapped up in the arms of this sin
I still can't shake the feeling
You're somewhere within
This creature of pleasure lost like myself
looking for something that brings meaning to life
like the coveted titles of husband and wife
The vows the cake the wedding ring
are mere reflections of you who
Dwells in everything
At birth I am fashioned in the image of the maker
In death you offer the promise of something greater
I see you in the blue and green of the earth I hear your voice in the wind
in the glory of the sun rising to the minute it goes dim
within the creatures that walk and the fish who swim
Your presence is unending you are in everything
From the beginning of my pain to the climax of my bliss
within the saltiness of tears to the tenderness of a kiss
If there is one thing I've learned then it must be this
There is no denying You are in everything that is
