an all too soon song

soon your own wholeness
enters the broken day
soon enough wishes swirl out
without boundaries

soon the longing for something
you can't yet recall
all too soon the frantic journeys
of the world

you will ask if at anytime soon
we untangle life 
Yes, friend, yes! Soon, soon, soon
... just as soon as...

Can I make a suggestion?

Omigosh! Yes! Please, Steph!

I think the whole first stanza would be more powerful without the word "generic" in the first line. It makes "wholeness" more whole when it's unmodified and a better contrast with "broken" in the next line.
