A Poet’s Daily Prayer
If there is no poetry in me today
no tales of wisdom
if i am lost for words
if i have no internal perception
on how I believe things should be
then today there is no me
If I can’t articulate some pain or love
felt deep down inside
If I can’t express colorful metaphors
of what I wished or dreamt for
or today there is just me
Then I beg for the power of creation from my creator
Because I am nothing without my daily poetry
A Dancer’s Daily Prayer
Music please lift me from this bed
I couldn’t make it through the day
until I let the energy move me…any which way
Cause if there is no beat …that picks me up
No music that makes me move
no feeling so deep I can’t help… but to groove
Then let me stay in my bed
cause I’m sure to have a bad day
a soft tap to start me off
Shall I dance in beat or grab a partner
and let him lead my feet
Will I let the drum reach my heart
or side step until the dancer inside ….has no place to hide
Whatever the case I pray that I will be given the chance
to at least let the music hit me to mandate my daily Dance.
