STEAL AWAY
Those times when sandy beaches
called out our names;
So loud and clear, we answered,
with aeroplane rides;
When the bloom of love flowered
in every season;
To steal away was natural,
it was so easy.

The aesthetic that is dance: lights, music, energy, colour, stretching to the heights of a discipline to
be shared and appreciated, all of this goes into the buildup we appraise as the performance.
What of the players on stage? How many delicious fried meals did they have to refuse, How many hours of sleep did they abstain from to get the movements right to sync with their partners.
We the audience leave the hall in applause mode, but if you really ponder the performance in terms of its background efforts and disciplines the words of Rilke echo thoughts: "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror.”
Attended the matinee performance of 'metamorphosis takes flight' at NAPA (National Academy for the Performing Arts)yesterday afternoon, so response to today's challenge is inspired thus.

just because its fun, he stacks rocks as a hobby
some people call him, rockman from lonely corner
how cruel i think; is this twenty twenty three
or have we reversed; to a time of backwardness

THROUGH TIME AND SPACE
hungry rocks eat the gemstones; and time vapors thin
old days are lived on one side; what's past now present
through rocks guarding the gateway; who then will return
can love transport through portals; rocks thin as magic

TWELVE: THIS AND THAT
When does a new year begin? at
Twelve or one minute past? Hat
Cat skiddle that.
A tomato red and delicious, is
It fruit or vegetable? Her
Eyes wide open to a yummy salad.
Once upon a time in a fairy tale
Twelve princesses.

LIMERENCE
Thoughts personal until shared
Like a doughnot turned curve.
There is no whole in two halves,
Only sections of desire fed of sweet
Longing.
Her eyes, his lips;
The curve of her brow, his lips;
Morning dew, his lips;
Finally, whispers of the heart;
Silenced in a kiss.

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

If you shut up truth, and bury it underground, it will but grow ...Emile Zola...
Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree ...Joyce Meyer...
