Of What It Was

the night fell into the harbor

i saw the beauty fade

the stars had hibernated

and the sky turned darkened gray.

the hairs stood up on my arms

as the fog formed across my feet

i thought the earth had stopped moving 

as it lifted me, gradually.

i did not care that it couldn't be real

as nothing seemed so much

i could not pretend that i didn't hurt

and then lie and laugh, as such.

i played the game as fair as can be

yet came out short at the end. 

i look forward, staying positive

watching the pieces mend.
it is told that this is  life

and i am aware what it all holds

i beg to differ in this belief

for my destiny is untold.

the night fell upon the harbor

as the water  appeared so still

i focused on the future

and the strength to persevere.

Dancing Soul

When the lights go down, I can feel it
    It's the tingling on my skin
       My heart moves to the music
           Moving my body to the rhythm

It's my getaway...my flying bird

Soaring through the sky

It's all vanishing within....

Just letting it go.

                 Close your eyes to hear better
            Close your mouth to express more
        Let your body guide you
   Through the rest of your life.

So when the lights go down, I will feel it

It's the tingling on my skin

The sensational goose bumps running down my spine

The butterflies in my stomach....

And the shivers running along my bones.

          Moving my body to the music
               My heart to the rhythm
                      My mind to to the words
   And my soul....well my soul just keeps on dancing.
