"There is something out there we feel in here"

Something Out There

The universe is beginning to look
A lot more interesting now than what
We used to think of as the way it was
As all the laws of physics we once took
For granted are turned inside out because
Though we thought we thought a lot about it
Yesterday when we thought less than we knew
Today we know we knew less than we thought

The universe keeps surprising those who
Think they have it figured out but who miss
The universal heartbeat pulsing through
All even them since it feels like a kiss
A kiss beyond any doubt about it
And sometimes we fear some things being true
Like that something out there we feel in here

The common name we have for it is love
And because hate is only love gone bad
The opposite of love we know as fear
Tingling along the shadowed edges of
Us where what is known and what is not known
Contend and conspire to leave us alone
Without knowing anything only this

Fear is the feeling which can drive us mad
But we feel love's heartbeat within our own
Though we hesitated to admit it
Yesterday when we thought less than we knew
Today we know we knew less than we thought
There is an it to get and we get it
I think we always got it but forgot
There is something out there we feel in here

Hi Steve, I would think after living in California for so long you would know that there is something definitely out there, not to mention what is out there in California...;-) ed
