"Simple magic"

Each cell of my being

Each fiber of life

Each heartbeat agreeing

Each moment is rife

Celebration, elation; each movement the body does sing

'Tis the way unto transit the time

When each moment is set to the rhyme

In the wonder at all that unfolds as life sings

No destruction is found in the depths of heartstrings

Validation is gained when you view

All the places you look at in you

Not encumbered or caught

By the gestures so wrought

In another's deep thought

No more shadows are fought

No more hiding your thought

The embellishments sought

Are in you

To relish each movement with flowing surprise

Through the pain and the song in each glowing reprise

The life that goes on through the will and the way

Embraces the loving in every way

The breath will still catch

And the heartstrings still stretch

With the love of a one above all

No matter the fate or the fall

Just each moment and breath

'Til the end that is death

Is caught with the wonder of all

Then, you fly and you never will fall

In some ways, I guess this is an update to "The drum" as I further study how to remain whole in an existence that is doing its damnedest to make it otherwise.   w
