Where the land meets the sea
The wild things dance
Happy and free
No worries shade their brow
Joy forever flows
Through their muscles loose
Never tight with woes
Once I was a wild thing
Sand between my toes
Sunlight splashing o’er me
Fresh air drawn in my nose
And though life since has drained me
Pulled me from the sea
My “wild” still itches in the dark
Yearning to be free
As long as yearnings stir me
As long as memories last
I know that I’ll rejoin them
Before more moons slip past
And my dancing may be stiff
When at first I rejoin them there
But my dancing feet will limber
As I shed my every care.
Come join me if you’re wild
Or if you want to be
We’ll dance together you and I
And you’ll feel forever free.
