makes my heart beat

per mia musa.

Pop! Squeak! went the Peep inside the pineapple. Fun times playing rodeo on the rhino’s back. Royksopp says it’s happy up here. Drink up the smoothness, the frothiness, the cold refreshingness of a daiquiri made by honey bees boogey’ing to the "plunk-pop," that shakes the walls of this pineapple. Who can say no? who can resist? I sure tried for a whole measure. Peep’s jiggling pinkness gets you hooked. Next thing I know, I’m shimmy’ing around the ring of refracted lights made by icicles tickling the sun rays as they come in through the top of this sub-tropical disco. But hell, you already know I really like it.

i dream when i close my eyes,

i live when i open my eyes.

and in the blink of an eye,

those dreams can live or die

the Moment

Wanderlust for the thrill, the gleam in my eye, and sense of adventuring stirring inside, I am ready to blast off. To the left or right, above or below, behind or ahead, anywhere I go. Clarity. This is now. Nothing matters but my breath, the blood circulating through, the mind's eyes gaze forward, and fearless blankness encapsulates my body. Be ready and steady now. We close our eyes and dream, we open our eyes and live. So I pray, dream of good things and live to fulfill them.

YELLOW. the mellow when i'm in the shade. the blaze radiating rays of excitement and thrill in the daylight. i ponder this while conjoining with my yoga ball in silent meditation. "ohhmmmm," says I. teeter totter. nothing would be better than a cold mug of brew swishing along w/ a big "yo ho." imaginary mug in hand (it's more of a prop, really, appropriate for the merriness jumping in my tumminess), who knew, things can be so fun? giggle with glee, hop and flop, hum a tune, and laugh like a mad man.

BLUE. deep, dark, and possibly dangerous in the ocean depths. expansive, open, and pondering up into the sky. reflective, shimmering, and diffracting where the two meet. i dream of big things and small. splish-splash. ideas and fantasies meld together in fantastic shades and schemes. "follow me lucky charms," says i. we are abreast! wind in the hair, excitement for us to share, and props to compare, "andiamo!"

GREEN. green with envy. green with ecstacy. yellow and blue. mix and mesh, time to sing and dance to the rhythmic tune of bongos energizing the day and night. 1. 2. 3. ho! ring around the fire, touch the ground. touch the sky. we're in for a ride. viva! it's alive. we grow from the ground into the sky.
