Dancing and Poetry

Dancing is the only poetry

In an empty sky

It lingers in the nightwind

And kisses troubles all goodbye

A Straight Line

   "From here to heaven is a straight line," he said, pulling out a pencil and drawing a line on the map.

   I was just intrigued that he had a map showing right where heaven was.

   "Now, I do say it's a straight line," he offered. "But you need to know there are obstacles in the way. And some people think they have to veer off the path to get around them. Now, that hain't following a straight line. Get around the law, get around the rules, get around doing what's right . . . No, that hain't walkin' a straight line. Those people is  a-always trying to get around doin' the things that they should."

    He looked me in the eye, his own eyes bearing down firmly. "It hain't so," the old man said. "In order to get to go through the obstacles, you gotta go straight through them."

 That's When I'm Coming Through

When everyone has given up on me

  That's when I'm coming through

When dark of night is darkest

  And I'm lost in all the ruckus

That's when I'm coming through

When hope is lost and gallows sure

  When hits come so fast, they're all a blur

That's when I'm coming through

   That's when I'm coming through

Count me out, count me down

   Say I count for nothing

Count me for a fool 

   Count me due to have my roughing

But when your abuse is heaped the highest

  That's when I'm coming through

When your ridicule reaches the ridiculous

  And your scorn becomes a stench

When you've laughed at me your loudest 

  Thrown at me your very last wrench

  That's when I'm coming through

That's when I'm coming through

When you say I'm all done and through

  That's when I'm coming through
