Peace on a contemplative morning.

It’s by no means quiet, since my daughter is awake and playing in her room, but I was listening to some VNV Nation and this song came on, and I paused to I really listen, and suddenly felt a peace and a sense of being centered, if just for a moment.  I transcribed the lyrics for this post but I really suggest you listen to the song as well since the music was a lot of the calming effect.  You can listen to it here.

Endless Skies – VNV Nation

How many years since you found yourself staring at an endless sky?

Unaware of yourself
who you are and where you’re going
only living
only breathing
Losing all sense of time?

Most fragile of things
captivates and embraces you.
Surrender and be witness to this rarest of moments.

You live within the sense of the order of things
What is truth?
What is important?
What defines you?

No need to fear.
No need to worry.
How years have passed,
About time you lost

Live seconds as a lifetime.
Time, it does not matter.
Live within the sense of the stillness of time.

Most fragile of things
captivates and embraces you.
Surrender and be witness to this rarest of moments,
where you live within the sense of the order of things.

What is truth?
What is important?
What defines you?

No need to fear, no need to worry,
About years that have passed, or time you have lost.

Live a second as a lifetime.
Time doesn’t matter.

How many years, how many years?
How many years since you’ve found yourself?

Since you’ve found yourself, since you’ve found yourself staring at an endless sky?
