Electric Evening

Powered by molecules 
which continue to strike 
    each other 
with force 
The evening turns electric 
      we are 
 transformed 
into 
   something altogether new
Let's move with the flow 
Change is the essence of life 
This dance continues all night 
   and on into morning 
We shouldn't waste time 
   on frivolities 
Our atomic fate awaits 
   us during 
another electric evening
as power surges 
  old verities 
are swept away 
   with the night wind

Great passionate write about a romantic happening ..Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..I repaired the clasp on the Pearl Necklace by sewing it back.. I didn't have the money at that time for the repair..I need to take it to a professional and have it repaired now and cleaned after all these years...Thanks for clearing up the Pearly Gates for me..Those Pearls will be 1500 miles high...Some more Pearls that will be a sight to behold..Sara

It's funny how everthing goes back to molecules and things electric. Isn't there some sc fi book I sing the body electric? Good writing, Matt. Luv, Andrea
