Where Is Donna Jones

My feet are yearning for dance,

Wishing to roll like cone on its tip;

My hands too,wishing to swing

Like eagle taking a flight;

I wish to wind my waist,

Like Tilapia on a gaiety mission.


But where is sparrow?

Where has nightingale gone to?

Please come back sparrow,

Come now nightingale,

Come and sing me your sweet songs;

My feet are yearning for dance.


Your songs are my first aid,

Like mouth to mouth respiration,

They ignite and awaken my nerves ;

And when I  hear your lyric,

Like angels in morning service,

My feet yearn for dance.


My feet are yearning for dance,

Wishing to roll like a cone on its tip;

My hands are yearning to swing,

Like  eagle taking a flight;

I wish to wind my waist,

Like a Tilapia on a gaiety mission;

But where is sparrow and nightingale?

I say where is my Donna Jones?

Yes Andrea,you should know that Andrea, Nette and Donna are my Idols; you may wish to read my Poem " Egal" to know how much I treasure them. Now that I can´t read from Donna I think it is only wise to ask her what is wrong.

Kayode...this poetic song is lovely and touching. I have never had the pleasure to get acquainted with Donna Jones, but it appears that she and her work are truly missed! / paul
