Energy

Where does energy come from?

Is it recycled or reused when we don't use it?

Is it in those cups of hot berry juice you tote around?

Or the sweat on you after a 5am run?

All I know is, I don't have it

I've tried to chase it in dreams

In naps

In meditation

But it runs faster than I can 

"I'll let it come to me" I say 

But it only alludes me further 

So tell me, what is energy?

If not found in sleep or hot Styrofoam cups 

There has to be something to chase, right?
