the stage

love is

the background score

playing 

on your heart's speaker

put a hand 

on your rib cage

and feel the thump

of insistence 

to dance  

feel the pulse

of the day ahead

through your 

joy insistent wrist

throbbing

with heart~music

breath is 

an accomplice

a saxophone

giving your nostrils

a soft jazz massage

this body is

often jet-lagged

after the soul's 

astral travel in the night

and your 

'to do list fogged' mind

struggles to recall

the courageous adventures

you have just been on...

and then

the sun comes up

shinning a billion watt

spotlight 

right on you

reminding 

that its time 

for the inner band 

to play 

while you deliver

a grand performance!
