The Seen and the Unseen

The Seen And The Unseen

You send to me a great desire
Like the heat from an ever burning fire
No pale of water
Could evaporate the heat from you
The heat burns strong
And deeply untrue
Oxygen is what I can provide
Take what you can
We will equally divide
All elements consist of a balance
We all have an ounce of valence
Coursing through our being
I can't function
Without your chemical bond
The seen and the unseen
So you see
You I am quite fond
Its hard to abstain
When with you I accumulate much gain
I will retain any energy you send my way
As long as we carry on and live for today
I absorb the beauty you fill my vision with
I absorb the fiery smoked air with my lungs
Giving me a taste of the old oak tree
The old soul that yearns to be.
