What happens
  when there's nothing to do
No sounds left
  No obligations
No dirty dishes in the sink

What happens
  when the only thing left is the clock ticking
And you even wonder
  if it might be a little less unnerving
if that stopped too

What happens
  when the only thing left is love
Immense, powerful, filling love
  that makes you want to laugh and cry
And dance

What happens
  When we give up all our angst
Our apprehensions noted and put aside
  When we realize we don't need that knot in our stomach
Tearing us apart

What happens
  When we really truly love
Coming from nothing and everything all the same
  From the very core of us
Do we smile?
