Reach into the depths of your soul.
Pull out something of worth.
Give it to me.
Whatever lives behind eyes, beyond brain.
I will put my ear to your chest
to hear your center beating.
Where you began,
where you will end.
Show me clarity,
that I may find direction.
Nothing is simple.
Not the city, not the moonlight.
Not the breathing of another lying
beside me in the night.
When you say "something of worth", do you have a particular thing in mind? THe phrasing makes me think you know, and curious what it is. What if you said "anything of worth"? Whichever is most accurate is good, I'm just wondering.
