Redefining movements, marinating grace
Indigenous charisma, properties of ballet
We caress, becoming the core of dance
Practicing, like a soft lighted Victorian lamp

Vulnerable electric, turned suitable for eating
Wading streams with nostalgic spiral replies
Desperation is no longer a cause or effect
Humming birds advance, through an obscurity of what was
A rugged tender craft, now obtaining true substance
Sharing mutual tears, he guides us to a workshop
Taking a few tentative steps toward a spinning top

Seemingly, easiness, in the way we cried
Gentle becomes, fermenting essence to vine
Considering, sense of stability & fair proportions
Selecting a handful of herbs, as they begin to ripen
Never taking more then we need

As we leave the boat, slightly salty and tan
We become, by warmth, of our own gardening hands
Beside placid breathing of some natural graciousness
We chisel a smoldering scandal to radiant flames of patience
From a pretty white face more kindly heroic
I’ll never forget his life-saving Heimlich

As for me, the clock now ticks faster, it seems
It may not be long till I find myself seasoned
So, I’m investing in a Uncomplaining Assistance Program
Because
One never knows what tomorrow bestows
it's become essential to arrange all my ducks in a row
