I Failed To See

Looking back, there was always light Enough to balance my time in the dark A relentless, steady, undying spark Revealed, in time, at close of night I never thought to question, just why I didn’t stop to ponder specifics It took the dark and quickly fixed it Blissfully ignorant, my heart, obliged From the very start, I heard music play Humming the tune, while tapping my feet I always adored the aesthetic beat Leavening spirits and leaving me gay At no time, did I dissect the lyrics Not once, did I consider, contemplation A meaning behind the pleasant vibration Reciting a song, but I never did hear it I was there all along, but failed to see The force that drove my everyday life Yet, moving to the beat and warmed by light
