Exhaustion is heavy Numb indifference even more so My eyes are dull And their gaze cast down To something even deeper than the soil Arms leaden, knees trembling Thoughts cycling, cycling, endlessly
And for what? What is the purpose of this weariness?
Just take a look at the window And you'll remember The world waits to greet you as soon as you walk out
The blazing sun smiles with warmth While the silky moon soothes the ache in your bones Hot desert winds drag sand around for miles As cascading waterfalls crash onto granite stones Hollow-***** birds soar beyond the heavens Thousands of feet above immense sea creatures That crawl below the shimmering ocean surface
No matter how dead you feel The world is alive around you
So when the only thing on your mind is a resounding, "Why?" The snow capped mountains The palm studded beaches The wheat speckled fields And the storm plagued jungles Echo back their reply: "Just because."
