Empathetic movement
Move for me
So I can remember what it feels like
To be lighter than air and so___
Very sure of limb
Move for me
In ways my body remembers as if
It were today
When you hold gravity to task
I am fearless once more
& Free
Resist! These universal laws
As ever long you can
Make! Magic! Happen!
Move for me
Click!
Like a bird with gyroscopic tic
I was a bird once
Unbeknownst to me
When you Move for me
My empathy kicks in
Oh joy!
Oh Rapture!
Here we go again!
