A dance without music
a sight without sound
an earshot away
but only a drumbeat felt
two lips part
but you don't hear a word
two fingers form a whistle
but what is too be heard

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
