Progressing towards a shifting target
It looked like we were walking backwards
Things receding as we approached
The hill was within reach
A reach that simply extended
Like Sisyphean
Until we had come close enough to look so that we could see
All the while making progress against our sense.
Standing tested
Stretched
Straightened
Standing tall
Standing tested
I saw you standing there
Standing at the edge of the dance floor
A lovely top
Right hand on your waist
The other hugging it
Your frame
The look on your face
It held my soul
You were someone to know
Before we ever met
You gave off this fragrance
One that drew me in
Like a siren, but to life
I loved you before the beginning
Before we ever met
So natural to like you
Somehow I felt your essence
That day I saw a light
It was strong and beautiful
Powerful truly
You shined through and into
You gave me something
Without my asking
Would you dance with me
I had wanted to meet you
Before we ever met
We smiled together
Laughed together
Lost in talk, time inconsequential
Your thoughts mattered, they matter
To share your heart with mine
I would that we were that way
Before we ever met
So he swept her off her feet
And she gave her soul
What did he really do
It was she that lept
So he swept her off her feet
And she got possessed
What did he really do
It was she that let
So he swept her off her feet
And she fell in love
What did he really do
It was she that fell
We’ve come to half the year
We’re still here
Not by might or strength
It’s because you’re there
Hell wanted me prey
Like she knew nowhere to stay
But she had to fail
For mine was not her place
We’ve come to half the year
Tomorrow is blessed
Not by might or strength
It’s because you’re there
Thank you, thank you
I have a say
Thank you, thank you
‘Made a way
It’s because you’re there
It’s because you’re there
I wanted the girl
She was a bird
She would have no perch
For more than a third
I wanted the bird
‘Go with her where she went
To perch anywhere
There to make our nest
I wanted the girl
Smart lioness princess
Let me be your den
And make your soul my rest
I wanted the bird
With me for all our years
Her only perch
Where she made her best
I wanted the girl
She would not rest
She had not let herself
Make our I’s disappear
I wanted the bird
She has the eagles’ crest
‘Made us a pair
And? We’re just friends
Life goes more than breasts
We are creatures of the air
Ethereal
I wanted the girl
Hey I went all out
To make my own luck
Since fortune has a god
That answers the prayer called work
Hey I got the job
You said dumb luck
But it was just God
That I got favoured
So God of fortune and luck
Answer my wisdom and love
But there are times I have none
So then help me God
I wanted to dance
But it was a bout
I needed a partner
Everything seemed far
So I asked in prayer
Bring dance back into my life
He answered
And sent me afar
