Hearts Beat

Sooooo, this was a song in my head while I was writing it, but considering I don't sing or play an instrument (other than the cowbell)...its a poem.

Dance, when your broken open 
When only darkness remains 
Even as you try to outrun the 
Pain
Will throw your heart on the ground
Leave 
With a mere echo 
Of your hearts 
Beat
Dance. 

Dance, if you've torn the bandage off
Been a soldier from the start 
Been ripped 
And torn apart.

When your flame 
Burns 
Higher--than the trees 
Higher than the birds and the bees 
That flame (we call) 
Desire.

Dance, in the middle of the fighting 
Night falls 
Amongst the living and the dying 
Stay close 
Even as the sky is falling. 

Dance, in your blood 
Surrender to the sounds 
Let the vibrations 
Seep 
Into your SOUL. 

Dance, in the gloomy night of life 
Music 
Is the moonlight. 

Dance, when you're perfectly free.
