Just the Music and the Dance The music cries it falls around me drumming heart beat fluid time in minor the world a euphony and the meaning is one heart that unites the dirt crusted desert and the islands lush is brown and blue eyed and the strings of it stretch where only shadows dance for across the water the violin the violin in the dusk sucks all the vibrant land down into its maroon and violet line I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the movement see who they were and who I will be and it is much more then dust even the cry of birth and death retched and shouting moves in reverence through cords of harmony and I see the truth of pyramids for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end just the music and the dance ----- 08/00 |

and the meaning is one heart that unites the dirt crusted desert and the islands lush is brown and blue eyed and the strings of it stretch where only shadows dance ~*~ as only you can make the shadows dance... [This message has been edited by Sunshine (06-28-2003 08:32 PM).] |

Martie, ======================================= I can dance these bare legs and twirl the hair of my ancestors around the ribbon of this sound and slightly close my eyes and then through the movement see who they were and who I will be and it is much more then dust even the cry of birth and death retched and shouting moves in reverence through cords of harmony and I see the truth of pyramids for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end just the music and the dance ====================================== Such wisdom and pain all wrapped in a beautiful package. Time...how it teaches. ![]() If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

of all the lines I liked, I liked the reference and its inference here: for time is vertical and horizontal and feathers with so many strands that there is no beginning or end just the music and the dance ------- you and your writing are both so special... regards sudhir |

The music cries it falls around me drumming heart beat fluid time in minor the world a euphony and the meaning is one heart quote: We were looking at different oceans but our hearts were in the same place I think. "Martie The Magnificant" you colored me a poem again and I thank you. |
