Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart

To hide in plain sight Something we all yearn for, but Our differences Do not belong in the mud For mud cannot be polished
Lofting lazily Enter murky depths of feel Quivering eyelids Two heavy from the weight of The thoughts that lead me astray
