The essence

That's all I smell in here

That's all I feel in here

'

The essence

Of happenings and events

That occurred years and centuries ago

'

The essence

That cling on to these walls

Which have their own stories to shout out

'

The essence

It never dies

It never dissolves into cold nothingness

'

The essence

Shall always remain

In the air you breathe

'

The essence

Of everything you say

And everything you didn't

Will be a witness to that you said or didn't

'

The essence

Is something which can never die

For it's eternal

In its true essence

'

The essence

Of the mistakes you committed

But that you regret now

Will never leave you

'

Like a guardian angel

It follows you

That wisp behind you?

That's essence.

'

Everything has essence

Let it be a noun

Let it be a verb

They all have essence

'

Essence is essential

Or there would be no witnesses.
