Soulful

Take a deep breath
Feel your mind unleash 
Wait for the smoke to clear
For the burn to cease.

Forget the land with time
And the nagging voices, 
Leave the laces untied
Stop running. Stay as is.

No ticking clocks
No undone chores.
Only a relentless hum
Slowly drawing close.

Heart cannot still, but
Pounding not in fear
Its there, almost there.
Listen. Now do you hear?

First a faint tune
Then a beat begins.
It must be the music
They say the soul sings.
