My Spirit goes on

Dancing 

the spirit shaking everyone

your faces are flowers of darkness

eyes closed

in dancing ecstasy

the spirit shaking everyone

shake

shake

children of the jungle

calling me to sing

forget my nightmares

mangos staining my lips

My Spirit

 

what is the spirit

that moves us

when we sing

in a thousand backrooms

funky with dopesmells

and pretty men and women

the spirit shaking everyone

 

we feel so beautiful

a whirlpool of silver eyes

and silver sweat

the spirit moving us

like holiness

in the sway of our bodies

the joy in our voices

humming the dance

the trance

of one night’s voodoo

celebration

 

the moon is almost full

and there’s danger

in the air

your faces are flowers of fire

burning

the toucans are flying

macaws are shrieking

and it’s forever

in the moment we stop

and start again

 

what is the spirit

that moves us

unspoken magic

weaving dangerous colors

it’s our birthday

and we sing a baptism

for our souls

our godliness

higher and higher

we dance

out into the street

 

you ask me

if i

want to die

and i say

no

not yet

not tonight

it’s too beautiful

and i want to love you…!
