Everywhereness

In the middle of my nothingness
I've been discovering everything
I thought I knew;

In this unexpected gladsomeness,

In a song I never thought I'd sing,

I'm finding you.

And it's sobering, to say the least,

Though it isn't grandiose;

It's a simple, sweet, subdued awareness.

And it's hardly festive; there's no feast;

But I need not be morose.

I no longer doubt your everywhereness.

No soiree for VIPs tonight,

No sleek limousine or fancy clothes,

No chic hotspot;

In this quiet place, this unmapped site

I am far away, but I am close

To the love I've sought.

And it's sobering, to say the least,

Though it isn't grandiose;

It's a simple, sweet, subdued awareness.

And it's hardly festive; there's no feast;

But I need not be morose.

I no longer doubt your everywhereness.

I remember chasing neon dreams

In dark realms where shadows cold

Seek to numb the pain that never goes away.

I no longer hear the silent screams,

The clamor within my soul

That haunted me so; I know I'm here to stay.

And it's sobering, to say the least,

Though it isn't grandiose;

It's a simple, sweet, subdued awareness.

And it's hardly festive; there's no feast;

But I need not be morose.

I no longer doubt your everywhereness.
