Gaze not upon with down(cast) eyes
Rather kick up your heels, come now
Swing! Lets dance away into the night!
Life’s a tad too terse for us to begrudge,
remember inside us there exists light;
like scintillating stars we emit our own
spark.

Everyone of us have that potential ‘sparks’ waiting to be released to astound the world.
Just how to initiate them is the problem!

bragging as the Hunch
back of Notre Dame first for
66 months of shut-in existence..
no different than ‘a guy selling meth’
in his underwear with no drugs at all
that will
work
for pain..
so all there
then is.. is words for
path to dance again…
Dance is not just dance
Dance is how God moveS iN
