Quick free fall of words to the page looking at the painting

Hearts hanging on by a thread Long exposure photography Capturing the twirls of joy Those hearts spun without knowing In that lost but lasting moment Where self consciousness fell away Attached to lunar termination We're not all light or dark Our microphone has us tilt to the shadow And balance would be impaired Yet we're experts at this life The high functioning broken thing Without a label or a scaffold You may ask - what is the song I sing Up here, in this tiny patch of light I stole Making out I know the set list I'm just padding out the space between Til you're not here for the song anymore Til you see my heart And my little twirls of joy Maybe fall a little in love Because I or it is a composite that's not ordinary The sun creeps to take my little square of blue Tries to shape me but fails You've waited so patiently, I'll sing when blue is over and due is the rain follow the skyline to find me again

When I see a Miro, I have to take a few minutes to decide whether I like it or not. I positively enjoy your poem. The note on equilibrium was a familiar experience which I also felt from this painting.

I don't know why I decided to ignore the dancer theme and see a stand up comedian/singer (one 'foot' was a microphone for me). Still used the movement on stage but my dancer but flamingo with one leg down only haha. Definitely lots of balance at play. Thanks for your comment

"when blue is over and due is the rain follow the skyline to find me again" Wow, so effortlessly written. I'm impressed and taken aback of how fluently these verses flow.. a fav for me.
