Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

listen up my sleeping children, now
my dancin' feet gon sing you tune
lisn up my sleeping children, now
dancin feet gon oh sing you tune
don't got no waters, no, no waters now
hold me down
just gon go, now, say, jus gon go
let it flow on out
say sleeping children, now
love you now right in your dreams
don't shake those heads, babes
rustle up them blues downstream
you can scare up all them demons south by light that moon
lisn up, my children, now, said, our dancin feet gon sing you tune

countin sheep
countin kadishman sheep
countin lugubrious beat
countin, countin

(thanks for introducing me to Kadishman, hope those beats start bouncin lugubriousness out your feet til it runs right out and makes you just scream and shout)

a thread or two ago
i danced with hester
under the persian sky

treading lightly
dual resonance
and venus smiled

the likes and lights
of hester
of judih
of doreen
and other friends of mine...

it's why stars shine

we can heal the world with a dance
we can heal the world with a smile
we might not ever be known for it, though,
but it's worth the extra mile

dance to miles
dance to parker
dance to whirling dervish ohm

play the universe
play the galaxy
play the impossible dream

stumbling through her mother's things
she finds this photo

instantly she's back
the song the sounds
the feel the fragrances
the fever of dancing

for the couple
for her friends
for her mother
for herself

the freedom
the passion
past and present
juxtaposed
as she touches this eternal instant of joy

slowly, it all fades back

she's still
completely aware of how special
fragile
this beautiful moment of a special memory was

"Did you find it?"
her mom calls from the other room

and in her heart she's tossing back her head and saying
"Oh Yes! I've found it!"
but to her mom's question
she loving replies

"Not yet...."
an mistakable note of joy in her voice
and a private smile upon her lips

children are fed
while children feed
a friend brings a picnic

clinking glasses of pride, dare we say it?
friends share joy
relishing the moment
