Next Dance, Next Fight

Pounding out fear
Will lead me somewhere

Where or when or how
What then?

Next page, next light
Next dance, next fight

Picture this:
A song of the past

Hidden beneath the 
Habits of altitude

Lower and longer
Sound and somber

Know and find
Crimes of rhymes

Listen up close
Hear what is near

Let loose of your worries
And cling to good cheer

Setting suns can't beat
the moon

Nor can mountains fall
from the sky' tears

Burdens are bending
And faith is mending

Move in, stay out
Come far, stand out

Pleas of hyssop trees
Leave after noon

Missing out 
Beneath the stones

Pampered souls
Never remember

Opposites cannot rhyme
Unless they dance in sync
