Recently, I had this lovely opportunity to work with my dear friend, Lauren of Lauren M. Hancock Poetry and Prose, to write & record a piece together. Lauren is a poet, painter, violinist and above all, a wonderful, sweet & kind being. Please visit her blog, where you’ll find her heartfelt, soulful, raw poetry, prose & spoken word and her beautiful artwork. My gratitude to Lauren for reaching out to me, to make this happen.
Implore
The breaths I take
The steps I sway
When I dance on my feet
My ground is change
The heights I stare
The case is space
The light has shades
The dark isn’t just pain
I see the sane
When I saw the chain
I tear the deep
When I drop the waves
The colours I blend
The Universe I paint
The eyes then glare
The divine through pen
I expand upon
an inner sense
of personal justice
social soul well meant
I know I know
the ability for
personal growth
is well rooted deep within,
for every passing second
my efforts are tirelessly sown,
my chest expands
my heart, it flows
rich with breath, mighty effort
stallion-like strength –
continuous insistence,
and sound temperament.
our steps in time
pirouetting groundwork
yours and mine
our knowledge together
brought closely in life
we stare down the precipice
and soar, divine,
unknowingly yet aware
we become entwined
intent and more
this World we explore
for reaching our Universe’s heights
sights and sounds
enriching our abilities
our minds implore.
