Enveloped

I, I want to be excited,
I want to be enthralled-
I want to breathe life in,
And taste it with my all-
And waste it not at all
And I can feel her inside-
More alive than I remember before,
More intrinsic to my being
More casual than debating
New thoughts I'd tried erasing
New levels I've found elating,
New revelations- no more waiting!
Live without a known rating,
Live I continue creating
Live for the knowledge I'm currently baiting
Enveloped by the love I see-
Enveloped by the breeze around me,
Enveloped by the light and the energy
Home where ever I may be,
Home alone going crazy
Home is a residence inside me
Why don't you come along, I'm sure you'll see-
Why, it's high time you felt free
Why, how should it ought to be?
I don't always make perfect sense-
I don't always act so dense,
I don't always pattern the rhyme
But I always try to have a good time
But I always try to save my, or your
Butt, I into conversations-
Speaking about lost nations,
Speaking about new excitations
Speaking with interesting relations
Not knowing what will happen next-
Not knowing where the mystery will lead me,
Not knowing the gist of your mystery
Finding relief in breathing-
Finding freedom in movement-
Finding ecstasy in dreams
Looking at the world in new reverie,
Looking at myself quite differently
Looking to understand everything-
Behind what you say to me,
Behind me in my memory
Behind my assurance
Ahead in the distance
A head in the clouds-
Ahead of the crowds
