When vibrations take you

And mind's no longer blue
The scene is set for love
And as you raise above

The muddle and chaos
Things which seemed lost
Then become another toss
Into the fire of passion's gloss

As new stirrings deep within
Remind you're no longer thin
For the fullness you now feel
Causes a new spin of wheels

And you step aboard runners
Which stick out from fun-ness
Clasping at this golden straw
Wanting to have so much more

Caressing thoughts and images
From all of the previous stillness
Which has kept you in much limbo
As you've been in depths below

Until exchanges have occurred
Which've made you sing as a bird
Warbling with contentment of life
For love has risen above the strife

And all the things you have been
Are now just parts of a past dream
And new awakenings have caused
A return to fire which has no pause

As fuel's spark ignites your very soul
And the full heart reaches out to call
Upon the soul behind the stark image
Which no longer is just a hidden stage

And you reach out with wide open arms
To hold and to grasp at those charms
Wanting to pull them deep within you
As you shake from head down to shoes

For this reaching out you've proffered
Hinges on mind welcoming the offer
Something you sense is indeed case
But only time can really trace ...
