I open up my heart
Raise the blinds
light a fire
My stocking- footed soul
Inspired to dance
To the stroking
of Botti's trumpeted caress
Turn the volume higher
I swirl in the curl
Of my free flowing hair
My free flowing thoughts
Sway sultry and safe
The beads of sweat
Remind me I am alive
Alone with a poet's heart
And the moonlight' s company
No one qets to ask me any questions
I'm a mime in stolen time
Quieted by the falling notes
As I tiptoe soft, against the night
On pointe, and perfectly controlled
Where shadows touch my soul
Like the calm only morning knows
When she rises from the dew
I am new in the balance of a song
Whereas the world outside the window
Strings a tightrope to traverse
I knew every verse to my favorite tune
Me and the moon
Quieted by the falling notes
