Dancing
Dancing.
I
Replace my worries
With passion.
I forget all but the music and my body moves without
Any other concern but a rhythm
Older than time.
For all of me loves every layer of every note,
Every beat.
If I were not able to dance I would die,
The weight of all I carry in me crushing
My very internal being.
I have to set those fierce ones physically free.
The ones that hang on so very tight
To my heart and skin,
That cannot be
Placed in ink or breath.
The dance becomes me
And I,
The dance.

Feel It All
Time.
You cannot speed it up when you feel
Pain.
You cannot slow it down when you feel
Joy.
So let it go
And feel it all.
Dance to the music of your life with wild abandon.

Old Piano
Once this old piano knew happy days
For music brings joy
And passion.
Cobwebs and dust have settled on the keys.
Broken strings and rust sleep well
In dark places.
Notes forgotten
For it cannot play itself
Back to
Music.
Yearning for the feel of
Warm fingers upon
The ivory;
For harmonious voices to join in
All its melodic glory;
For bodies full of life and love to glide and swing as one.
Silence plays
Alone.
Time does not forget,
People do.

Become The Music
Legs shaking.
Mind blank.
Heart seizing inside her chest.
Hands trembling
She takes the stage.
Silence ensues
As she steps to the edge,
Takes a breath
And becomes
The music
To which there
Is
No End.

Sneak Out
Let’s sneak out after midnight.
Meet me down the road.
We’ll go running through the field.
Nobody will know.
Bring your father’s bourbon
And a radio too.
We’ll listen to some music.
Maybe dance a song or two.
I’ll bring us a blanket
And wear my yellow dress.
The one I wore last summer.
The one you like best.
We’ll lay down with each other.
Not breathe a single word.
Because we know what our hearts are saying.
Nothing that can be heard.
We’ll count the stars to a million.
We’ll laugh until we cry.
We’ll hold each others hands.
Watch the lightening bugs make fire in the
Sky.
And I can’t wait to see you.
Can’t wait to breathe you in.
Can’t wait to see your laughing eyes
And do it all again.

Loveliness
I
Will pull the loveliness out of you.
I see it.
I feel it.
I hear it.
The music you have kept hidden inside your
Soul.
I will pull those dreams out into the open,
The secret dreams you have kept slumbering.
And we will
Resuscitate them.
You will give them breath
From the depths of your soul.
We will stand together and marvel
In joy at the sight of your true
Light.
You will no longer resist yourself
And you will have no choice but to roar like a
Lion.
Let
Those dreams you have feared
Sleep no more.

Magic
She knows what it feels like to be invisible.
To be in a room with hundreds
Of people
And,
Like the air,
They breathe her in not realizing
She is there.
Her heartbeat the passion of the music.
The cellos
The violins,
And the dance.
Her presence creating a magical trance
And strangers smile as she drifts by,
Not knowing why.
There is delight in their hearts
At the gentle brush
Of her hand as she passes through,
A mere whisper of a breeze.
Her aura
At the tip of their memory.
Something they long for entirely
But cannot quite reach.
A haunting memory
Of a desire to hold onto
Yet
Out of their grasp,
She slips away.
And they,
The strangers
Are left asking
One another
If anyone else sensed the
Magic
They cannot describe.

In The Silence
In the silence
You were listening
You knew right away
You heard my heart stop beating
And looked at me to say,
Chole Into Diamonds
