Everything

There was what was known
There was that same horizon
A path to walk
Comfortable predictability
Beibg safe and secure in my own knowledge
But beneath that
Beneath all that

There is the delight of desire
There is that which fills the spaces between
There is that which fills the silence

There is a quiet desperation
There is the longing for
A certain revulsion of
The fear of loss is great
But of rejection is more
But beneath that
Oh, beneath all that

There is being the object of
There is being the reason for
There is the raw need

But beneath that
Beneath all that

Oh, beneath all that is everything
