Excuse Me Please (I'm needed on the dancefloor!)

Life is calling
loudly now
'Come, lay that down
leave this behind
Live me again'

Life curls a finger
beckoning
with glinted eye
and says,
'You ought to come
and play with me
before I pass you by
Switch that off
Give us a try?'

Life whispers softly too
'I'm yours
and I've been waiting
for you
Seek not your comfort, there
in absent arms
in stranger's charms
but nurture Now
Embrace me Here
Dust off your heart
Come.. Dance?'

Beautiful Beki, I have missed you hugely, I had to come searching, & I love what I've found... woohoo, this is great woman, in it's message is the essence of all good things (as Leonard Cohen used to say) & poetically it is refreshing & light with a message of import... Yay, yay & yay, that deserves a little more than Devonshire, I'll have to think up something more enticing... hmm, an invitation to dance, now there is a worthwhile thing. Make your whole life that dance darling Beki, you have that brilliance & that magic, I bet you do that for everyone else. Love this xxx Cheers Anni~ "When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace".
