Hit that beat....

The music is sitting out there.
Upon the edge.
So near, so far...

I use to dance to it's rhythms.
I moved to that sound.
I lived brightly with it's angry noise.
And loved and laughed to a beat known to only a few...

Sadness quieted,
Depression silenced,
and in the dark there were no drums...

But slowly,
ever so slowly...
I broke the silence,
with my screams of want and need...

My heart sets the beat,
and my soul keeps the time...
The music waited and wants me back.
And at long last,
I find my feet begin to move.

Yes...
It is time to dance.
