It’s in the smallest sounds The briefest touches The shortest glimpse The most fleeting feeling The faintest scent
It’s in the loudest symphonies The longest entanglement The seemingly endless moment shared between wandering gazes stopped The lasting, lingering instinct The strongest, most pungent aroma
It’s in an informal talk with a friend A polite minute long conversation with a stranger A speech given A comment overheard A phrase dropped A joke made A remark pointed
It’s in the violent torrents of stinging drops The gentlest whispers of snowflakes dancing The beacons of golden hope shining down undefeatable The spiraling wisps twirling to the ground from their noble perch up above The tiny fragments of faraway life sailing on the invisible breeze from one life to another
It’s the renewal every human needs, That once in a while of going on That inescapable truth: we’re only human That once every so often we accept That everyone can only take so much
We all need something to hold We all need something to hope We all need something to roam We all need something to go We all need something to have
It’s the renewal And it’s everywhere It’s in our waters And in our fires It’s in our air And in our earth
Everywhere someone can find it Everywhere someone will need it It’s everywhere you look It’s everywhere you need That’s what renewal happens to give.
