Janus Estuaries Vol. 3, 1.15.24 “Lockwood Lover"

Music box dancer ‘Round and around you go Performing – warming My heart, each wound-up click-start To my fits and tears will you give answer? Rain clatters, against the window As idle chatter Shattering the silence after your song hence Laments at the rest After the song, where does this feeling go? Tell me dancer, what care does a wolf have for a flower? In the storm shadowed sky Your pre-packaged song carves into my cheeks Wind me up, dancer-doll Spin me round, dancer, fall, new years’ midnight shower If I close my eyes, hands held aloft Might the rain be my partner Have just this dance, slowly stepping, turning Yearning for the wind and the rain to clasp Music box dancer, playing, dancing soft Goodbye, passerby Before you go, wind me up So that I might revolve once more Dance and sing and soak in the rain Replace the broken cracks and pain with a sigh

You cannot fight for happiness. Happiness is not something you can battle to gain its state. Whoever says happiness is something to achieve entails an unsecured mental health. You can only find happiness if you are better within yourself. To calm the storm of your thoughts, and the freedom to rise as you transcend.
