Nothing But The Stars On
Anticipated Bliss
What if we danced in the dark, with nothing but the stars on
stomp in the puddles, let the water soak our toes
What if we traced our silhouettes, in the colors of the rainbows
chase a shooting star, to discover where it goes
Come on and dance in the rain, count the drops, as they are falling
dip in the depths, taste the water on our tongues
Answer to the wild on the wind, while it is calling
reverse the hands of time, to the days when we were young
Let's stop waiting in the wings, for our life to take on meaning
drop the facade that we are fine with how it is
Bask in the sun, with squinting eyes, while it is gleaming
soak up the day, wearing a smile on our lips
Sit with the moon, ask the man what he is thinking
plan for the day, with anticipated bliss
Search for the one that your lonely heart is calling
fall into their arms, and surrender with a kiss

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

This seemed very lyrical! Lovely work!
I believe in this for you, Kelli, that such a future is very near if you will be but open to it. (No, not with me, you silly goose. I'm old enough to be your grandfather & have absolutely nothing to offer. But there is someone very near....)
Pure romance Kelli. Love it. 🥰
Beautiful piece. ❤
