Teach Me Rhythm

I want to get lost in rhythm

like a leaf gets caught in the arms of the wind

to let my hips be fluid and my feet bend

to embrace the sway of moon and waves

I just want to let music notes dance between my fingers

like wine dances in my blood

and be intoxicated with an inspirational flood

pouring from my lips and my skin.

I'll perk my ears and quiet my grunts to listen

if someone would teach me rhythm.

Teach me how to move with life's rhythms

like how to rise with suns and moons

or how to be like flowers and bloom

or fall into the earth like soil 

or be as slick as oils

beneath paint brushes

or be in the feelings that births crushes

and roll into lovers 

I want to be as dynamic as rivers

and able to transcend into the wind

I'll perk my ears and quiet my grunts to listen

if someone would please teach me rhythm
