Those whose souls aren't stirred by - The pleasant and slightly unsettling fragrance of fresh earth The cold enveloping light of the moon The delicious warmth of a light breeze on a hot summer's day And when I say stirred, I don't just mean some passing feeling I mean that joyful painful yearning from the bottom of your soul That spreads through your whole being and consumes you For that moment - however brief, Of spiritual bliss, if you will. And when it passes, You are not the same you From a few seconds or minutes ago You are the earth, The moon, the breeze The pain, the joy The moment.

The other world
Those whose souls aren't stirred by - The pleasant and slightly unsettling fragrance of fresh earth The cold enveloping light of the moon The delicious warmth of a light breeze on a hot summer's day And when I say stirred, I don't just mean some passing feeling I mean that joyful painful yearning from the bottom of your soul That spreads through your whole being and consumes you For that moment - however brief, Of spiritual bliss, if you will. And when it passes, You are not the same you From a few seconds or minutes ago You are the earth, The moon, the breeze The pain, the joy The moment.
Do you ever feel that the others can never really see or feel you the way those with the soul of an artist can?
