In Him
In my quest to find a muse
My quest to find meaning to what my life be
My quest to find my heart a fraction of love that it grew to be missing
I walked a mile,bare footed with a box of narcotics in my hand and bag that carried all my sorrows
Walked to a home that was not mine but longing for it to be
I walked with hopes to have my heart fed a love that will have it satisfied
And so, I landed
I landed in his company
Having missed what it felt like have him next to me I drowned in the mystery of his soul
he sat there beside me looking free
and my soul feared to reach the level he was at as I had grown anxious
he played me a song, one after the another
took my anxious mind and put it to ease
stole my breath and had me breathing under the mist
so heavy I felt the breeze of nothing pass me
I grew slow not old missing the moments it blew with it
Forgetful of the fruits the earth birthed me
He stole my heart
Had my heart pacing in reach of the love he incurbated within his heart
He touched me,
Touched not only what was my flesh but the soul that grew in wander
He eased my heart, my mind and the shivers of my flesh
The hours spent felt like seconds that make a minute
Fast time felt for time with him make up a lifetime
He cracked my lungs with laughter
Bloated my heart with pure joy
And my mind he birthed sanity
I found home in his comfort
Peace in his freedom
And bliss in his truth
I wander not anymore for my questions remain answered in his company
Slow walking this path so blue
I breathe….
