Impulse

You feel it sometimes, a slight twitch of the soul (though you don't know yet you are part eternity), all you can see is the mud and sweat of earth days-- but if you try, really try to raise your soul, you might feel it rise in your time- bound body as it seeks to sing and soar and see the brightness of Heaven.
