Poems inspired in Thailand at 4:00am

Hi There,  Here are some poems from Thailand I wrote last night. Bummer my computer went out. Here's a bit of insight on what I am experiencing. Lee Ann

Last night there was a dance that went all night with low base. Here's reflection
Dance
Base thumps air
Heart beat pulse stretches
  on fingers of tension
Three note loop cycles
Drone repeats, repeats, repeats,
Dance Chant


Downward Dog
Gecko fingers arch
Power "L" imprints
Toe balls press
Twisting, spiraling, wringing
Starving belly exposes finger ribs
Muscle suck bones tight
Tension align to easefull effort

Fear 
Fears crooked root fingers
Snake into sinue muscles thin
Tendril shoots activate venom
Impulses scamper seeking light to kill
Bound in doubt
Paralyzing desperation
Heart eatten of hope
Suffering pain twists chest
"Let go" wails pain
Final injection poised to transmute
    soul light to body dark

Antidote
Give self sedative of kindness
Cradle heart tender in hands Divine
Fill  lungs restricted with reminders of joy

The Abyss
Fall into vat of emptiness
Fall into yourself
Friends support good bye to hermit shell
Let go
Desperate grabbing, doubts tug
Familiarity falls aside
Footing gone
Bearings gone
Definition gone
Layers pull away
What remains past desperation
Emptiness, 
     Quiet
        Peace of nothingness
                   Presence
Presence
  No expectations
  No assumptions
  No past
  No future
Palate of choices open
All colors included
      Lights, Darks
      Black, white and grey
Listen, smell, atune, AWAKE
Alert, ever ready feet
      Athletic poised
      See options
      See actions
Choose knowingly because
     actions reverberate
