Dancing in the living room Blue lights beaming around Joyous music singing Steps flowing with no sound
The music turns
Our minds to gold
Our bodies to waves
Distracting from the- Chaos In the world around This lively living room
This moment in time seems to Live as if eternal Then suddenly Its over.
What should I do? Where should I go? Who should I meet?
There are swarms of questions Drowning me
I have no answers Beneath my feet To earn a breath of air
I run through mazes Long empty hallways Dark circular rooms
The echo does not give A single response
So instead I answer with a question Does any of this really matter?
Out of the dark sky It gradually emerges Crossing the horizon
As time continues forward A blanket of warmth forms Surrounding my soul
The prickling burn on my skin Fills my heart with passion Drawing me in for hours
Until it sets below the trees Behind the mountains Under the sea
All that is left Is a faint memory Of the light between you and me
Laughter echoed about the room I turn to find the attacking eyes Then quickly bow my head
Were they laughing at me? I’d assume they were What for? Oh, I’m not sure
They could laugh at any of me My shoes My face My hands Or all
I’m a joke Why wouldn’t they laugh?
As I meet those eyes again They don’t notice me It seems that after all The laughter was never of me—
But of joy Friendship Unity
After years of pain destruction conditional love Nothing to live for Time without purpose
You showed me There is plenty to live for From the dew on the grass To the rain in the sky To the curiosity of music To the smile of someone I love
Love You taught me Is unconditional when true You don’t expect anything more from me And I don’t expect more from you
Just as we are is exactly all we need to be We can grow together into who we want to be
