Seen her sweat shuffle moves down Main Street way sending
Smiles warm blasting hearts dizzy buckling knees she strides on
Seen her in the car just passing head spins sideways catching rainbows
Glancing sunlight ricochets off her eyes for me she drives on
Seen her skirt swirl as she turns dancing free of worries
On a distant floor in the world no more she moves on
Last night smiling in all the best made dreams
I woke up in the chill cold still of morning
No lights on
Split word ladies dancing with broken song men
Me thinks I’m wise not going through all that again
Mangled dream weavers with songs sung off key
Wound the heartsouls of folks like you and me
*
Sincere hearted ladies dancing with strong souled men
Now that’s where I’m headed and stayin until the end
Honest lives live things from the inside out
Leaving no blood shed no frightened shout
*
So sweet friend reader live things true
Your unflinching truth reveals the meaning of you
Better a dream half lived than not lived at all
Listen to your heartsoul answer its call
And that is all
I am here now always
To move the pen who
Turns me loose
On the page
In the open
And that is all
