Stepping from the dark into the light,
Mid-conversation
In an introspective mood
Fashioning songs from debates
Will this film go from paper to screen,
Song to dance?
And I love to see you smile when you’ve made your point
I love to see you frown when magic trumps reason
Every day we search
Every day we find we can’t figure it out
Yet somehow we dance
My feet stand on wood joining wood
The imperfections say I’m blessed
Not the first
Mirror on one wall
I pull out my guitar
The little box fills the larger one
And I love to see you smile when you’ve made your point
I love to see you frown when magic trumps reason
Every day we search
Every day we find we can’t figure it out
Yet somehow we dance
Solitude does not exclude community
Though I’m certain I need a little time sometimes
We stutter step on syllables
Rope a dope
Then embrace
We spar in sport
Make art in love
And I love to see you smile when you’ve made your point
I love to see you frown when magic trumps reason
Every day we search
Every day we find we can’t figure it out
Yet somehow we dance
Somehow we dance
