Silent Dance

Dark and not even a sound
The only creature is me
This space is withstanding earth's rotation
Allows me to hold a minute or two
To think, to reflect, to breathe
Joy, tragedy, comedy
All packed into filmstrips
Dancing around me
with a very odd motion
But somehow kind of familiar to me
They lure me to dance
And I'm dancing
This sad sad soul knows its own tune
these joints know how to escort
When did they learn such things before me?
I'm dancing with my eyes closed

Dance to all the tears
Dance to many losts
Dance to the laughs
That you've had

And I don't care what my world's going to be
Nobody knows, nobody cares

I'm bursting out now
'til I reach out the last gasp
Then...
be still.
