1,000 Shades of Hue

In the still of the night
I feel comfort
In the darkness
I find solitude

when the morning comes
I hope to feel the passion for life
that holds me tight in its grasp right now
I hope to hunger for life as I do now

I want to dance again,..
you know, that soft slow number?
the one that made me feel human,..
but only in your arms?

but if I can’t dance,
let me sing
only with the passion that I felt years ago,
when I thought that it mattered

when the morning comes
if I can not dance, or sing
do not shed a tear,..
I’ll always be near to those I love

I want to sleep in a 1,000 shades of hue

when you see the waves break
or hear the birds sing
or feel the sun bake your delicate skin,..
when the dogs howl
and the moon shines full
I will be with you

when the sun sets over the water
or you hear “that song” flow over you
and the only flower you smell is the Hyacinth
and the rain tastes of copper
instead of my tears
you will know that I am near

when the morning sun no longer hurts those big beautiful eyes
and the moon shines forever bright
and you know that I no longer feel,..
you know that I no longer hear the Sirens song calling to me
and the butterfly flies so close that you can hear it

you will know that I am near
you will know that I am okay
you will know that I am happy
and you will know that I am finally,
home.
Peace, Love.

    Yeah, MUSIC, Wolf, music
    It feels like a ballad without ANY music just . . .
    Imagine


    Music helps the soul
    as does any art
    Poetry lends itself as
    medicine for the heart

    A vastness of respect and awe
    for those who can express
    Their thoughts and visions
    so much better than myself

    But while poetry can heal the heart
    It's music that opens the soul's door
    Whether by dance or by song
    Only then can the soul truly soar
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
