The Next Move

There is this part of me that is moving on, the part of me that you cannot see, is pushing me, and is trotting in the deep. It is always at work in wee hours of the morning and just before dawn when my mind is submerged in the deep and my spirit begins to work with ease. The strength of a lion is cast upon me and the courage of the sea bears the weight for me. I could tell from the appearance of the day that good things were about to come my way. There is a part of me that is moving, and I just cannot find a good place on which to stand, I am bursting with energy and you cannot contain me. so, you can catch me at the next station when the weather is fine, your mind is clear and you have much to share. I will be standing on that rock waiting for the ship to dock. It will arrive at noon so be prepared for the afternoon. The ring is in the dish but she doesn’t know how to fish; she stood on the rock all day with her line hooked on a bait and her heart set on an important date. There is this part of me that is moving and I have to clear the clutter from around me; empty the garbage in the bin and go do some feng Shui at the gym. Remove the kitchen table and place it next the door. Remove the anchor girl from the side, and place her next to the shore where she can do the dive, she will prostrate with a slide on her belly and with the anther in her head she can head the ball straight through the bed, it is a low and unpredictable dive. You have got to keep moving, life is so deceiving, you have got one chance here but none over there; take what you can get and conceal it in your socks and destiny will place more luck underneath your frock. When you reach center stage put the ball in third gear, roll it around in a circle. Get it into fourth and fifth gear, turn your back to the goal post and look at your opponent’s goal then make a right turn and use your left foot to roll the ball in the back of the net. Get ready for the next phase.
