dance rocky, dance

wiggling like a snake,
i'm here today, bluffing to the fake.
i'm the clown who wept to sleep,
laughing crazy, as the dream forgot the leap.

i fell into a ditch, on my back
trying a new trick, i gathered my stack.
a plane of dreams flew me down to this world
and i became a new pot everyday, to the same old mould.

a little brat, who missed the last train,
i'm now a street act in the next lane.
dancing to the jungle beats, i was born for the stage
now just an actor stuck in a script, with no page.

waltzing with every night star, i lived in the sky
seeing the magic of a shooting star, i'd feel the high.
down i came with the rain, when the stars died
but i stand in front of you, smiling, that i tried.

my game is not done, and i will arrive
the curtain call is sometime away, so don't stop the jive.
i will do my own, only mine, and pay the toll
by the time the show is over, i will have played my role.

Tressling..

So many souls on a do-it-yourself trip.
The manual out the window, ready to rip.
Do you also see them through the fog within.?
Squinty eyes, pudgy fingers and lithe bodies pulsating..

I've got stars on my hands and clouds under my feet,
I'll even throw a brick on that glass house if you'll let me drum the beat.
We had a hole and we had the plug..
but shouldn't we rather wait for our turn on the magic rug.?

A feather that's come loose, run it by your skin lightly.
Close your eyes and let the touch guide you dreamily..
I know you know the tune,
Come on hun, hum it under this full moon.

I felt i was meandering through and without a reason
not a tear or a frown but a clue not found.
You have been the rhyme and the color in the day.
And now, you are just a whisper away..

Stand under a wooden railway..
Watch the train of life rush by, above you.
Feel the smell of metal on God's breath..
And we wonder, isn't life just beautiful.?

Today. Is our day.
Today. We begin our life. Again.
Today. Is you. Is me. Is us.
Today. Is a beautiful day.
