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
