Wonderless

Do you know the sound of the moonlight across a lake?
Can you hear the breaths the wolves must intake?
Do you feel the wind in the leaves as they dance in the air?
Can you get lost in the forest when you're everywhere?

Imagine a world where the wolves howled every night,
And you can hear them from your bedroom windowpane,
You need not wear your invisible chains.

A heart can hear the things the ears won't,
And it will know the things your head can't.
But it will tell you where you belong,
If only you'll listen to it's song.

Do you hear the howls yet?
Is the moon seeping through your curtains and flooding your bed?
Are you feeling with your heart,
Or still thinking with your head?

Can you be at the bottom of the sea floor in the middle of the night?
Will you watch the stars in the water until the daylight?
Do you know what it's like to be so surrounded by nothing?
Can you remember a time when you weren't rushing?

Capture the beauty of the night sky above a sea,
Feel the water slip through cold fingertips.
Take in the infinite moment when a howl makes the skies rip.

Don't you know how to be free,
In a world that locks you in a chain-link life?
In your jungle of skyscrapers,
You can't see beyond your city.
Blindness is such a pity.

Have you ever heard a songbird sing just beyond a plate of glass?
How close you are to such beauty,
But to your reach it leaves so fast.

To not know loveliness
In a world full of ever growing wonder,
I can do nothing but grieve for you,
To not be scared of the thunder.

You must learn to see with your ears,
To hear the howls in your sleep.
A world beyond you will wait
And will still engulf you in beauty,
Even if you're late.
