It’s quiet outside
Maybe too quiet
The mind is restless
It won’t go to sleep
It seeks answers
To a million questions
Solutions to problems
Searching, waiting, and watching.
The heart joins in
Beating slowly, in a deep rhythm
Music that pushes the mind
Forward on its unknown quest
Yet there is something missing;
The mind knows it is alone
But longs for something more
Than just the ordinary
The body can’t take it anymore
It craves for a piece of the action
It twists and turns
Spinning out of control
The wheels are in motion
The quietness all gone now
The fire burns brightly within
A spark is all it took.
