Carbon Dioxide

Oh where were You that night?
When the soul descended into a place with no escape
I said I would not leave
Even though You had seemingly fled the scene

I still cried Your name in the valley of death
But You did not bring any comfort or help

In the absence of all peace
I quote that passage where You transcend everything
But the peace did not come
So they sedated me with synthetic rest

And I fell asleep while the world got dressed
Closed my eyes as the party went wild

Still I breathe into the mystery of You
As carbon dioxide leaves me and keep me
On my back, on my feet, on my face as I keep pleading
Come back, come back, come back to me

The silence comes
No voice, no hunch, no sound
Is that how you move around?
So you do no overwhelm?

But I need your touch
But I need your touch
Stretching out my hand I imagine it reaches
The hem of our coat
As you ask who touched me?

It was I
I had that much faith
