Move into the Night
Glimpses of the moon

I thought and fought my innate sense And stuttered when I moved And worried if my actions May be misconstrued.
I emptied my impulses Then I missed the chance I simpered and surrendered Where there may have been romance.
Learning about yearning Where did I go wrong? Searching for new places Trying to belong.
Senses strike like lightning My pulse beats like a drum Alchemy of energy My mind is going numb.
Passion is the poison Please slow the motor down Save me from the abyss I think that I might drown.
On a hilltop far away From noise and city lights I bathe in the innate beauty Of nature’s pure delights.
The stars and night and satellites Gleam through the darkening gloom And clouds eclipse and confiscate Glimpses of the moon.
I chance just one more dance And move into the night To pacify my senses And chance my mind to flight.
