Smoke And Spark

The room grows soft around the edges,

Thoughts drifting like clouds in the night,

And somewhere beneath the quiet,

A spark suddenly burns bright.

A feeling I can’t quite explain,

Restless, electric, alive,

Like wanting to chase a moment

And hold it before it can fly.

My heartbeat feels louder than silence,

My mind wanders farther away,

And every little emotion

Seems stronger than it was yesterday.

Maybe it’s longing, maybe it’s dreaming,

Maybe it’s simply my heart

Caught somewhere between the haze

And a feeling I can’t name from the start.
