Everybody Needs This

Everybody needs a song

To attune to their naked souls

 They all need to know a melody

To quiet the whispering oaks.

Everybody needs a place

Where they could go

To feel safe when they get

waves hitting them high and low.

Everybody needs to feel

The love which is deep and real

Lips that speak always of kindness

Hands that hold one in firmness.

 Everybody needs to have

 Empty hours and hollow periods

 To try to do nothing that matters

And to hear to heart's subtle chatter.
