Just When I Calm

I move like the breeze with never a moment to cease
Just some days it's more noticeable to the body then
Others, it's there, just less acknowledged to us
So, on a roll are how my most days are spent...

I become caught up in the moments without the eyes of my usual
I lack the visions of your soul ever near
But, Lord, just when I calm, I'm flooded with all of you
Dad, then it's ever so clear you've been lingering here...

Encircled completely by your memory I become weightless to life
So weak that reality hits this heart of mine
Just when I calm I'm nailed with a persistent ache
And, become aware of your absence all this time...

Like in slow motion I crawl to our familiar yesterday
So hard to make way from the sadness to my feet
I become pulled down in the forever that I'll live without you
And, drag on consumed in the thoughts of when we'll meet...

Just when I calm I'm plagued with what we'll never again be
God, I just realized, without you, certainty left me
Dad, I run throughout days staying clear of your face
Cause, I don't think I can take another fall that waits...

I have to close my eyes and soar beyond your soul at night
Cause, to find you leaves me crying still beneath sorrow's light
Just when I calm and least expect your breeze to flow through
I die, once again, when it's speed finds you...
