Dance Alone In The Great Picture

In a heart with intent

Fires in the silence 

To stir a building force

Lights burning 

Running wild thoughts to place in the peace

Breathe in the morning surrender

Pose to ponder willingly 

On a tyrant’s ship 

You are in part a tyrant 

Folded in a beautiful savage 

Hands filled with a million memories 

The pain a poetry to share

In experience for the next rhythms that are sure to come 

Master your own masterful ways 

Alone in the pasture

Water canteen dangles on an old satchel 

The wind a forceful friend 

If it joins the dance of the mind 

Tip toe to the shelter 

Watch the piles of energy collect in shapes 

Symbols for the bridge 

Lengthening to a shorter version 

It shrinks in time 

Furthering the example 

It’s ok to be one 

Alone to question the self 

Holding the invisible hour 

Study in art 

As an identity to share with the dying world 

What do you do for a living 

Live 

I live for a living 

Each choice a creative one 

And the mixture a collective sifting 

Do you feel the energy in every moment 

If you do then answers are rooted 

The freedom in chaos 

Transitions defining themselves as you build a firmer grasp of who you are 

Shy moments 

Aggressive moment with a voice that has been masked for decades

Love who you love in violence and truth 

This thing will always fall off the edge at the end 

Do it with arms out and a blindness to what catches it all 

Senses shattered to develop more 

To stand with a sword 

Paint canvas in the dark 

Wait until waiting is forgotten 

The right ones will come 

As they did before to teach you how to move on 

Dance like you are every facet of possibility 

Open to establish the new meanings 

Which is to say 

There is no meaning 

We will not be limited by your definitions 

Arrows erode the heart 

Break the compass 

Sketch like a child
