Feel the Rhythm

Do you feel the rhythm flowing

Through the life-veins of the street?

Catch the gentle rolling motion

As it plays beneath your feet.

In the early morning prattle

From a layered world of dreams

Comes an overflow of memory

Floating soft upon a stream.

 

And the way to turn is so clear

As you step into the heat.

You’re just listening to the rhythm

And following the beat.

It’s a million miles to Heaven

But the journey can be sweet

If you let the rhythm carry you away.

 

There’s a postcard in your mailbox

From a lover far away,

And you read each word a thousand times

Til the letters seem to fade.

And the rhythm of the words fall softly

From the printed page

And form another memory

To lock into your safe.

 

But the world keeps spinning,

Swaying to the rhythm of your soul

Til the evening falls just like a welcome friend,

And the beat subsides but never dies,

Just rests upon your mind,

And tomorrow you will start it all again,

And the rhythm wraps its arms around you

Like a long lost friend.
