Try Anything Once?

Dancing with that wine thought
Contemplating all that's been taught
On a night of heat and music
In a land of olives and true sync

Sand on hand, and sea and salt
Moon and smoke never to halt
Girl in a haze and boy in a trance
Pulling back, no, take a chance

Pass around the mystic pill
World full of good, world full of ill
Eat and drink, make merry with friend
Night getting hotter, night should not end

Then comes the phase shift, moving away
Is this tomorrow or is this today
Leaving the furnace, leaving to die
There is no leaving, no say goodbye

After the party, remnants of the taste
Life and the music packaged with waste
Awoken with wonder and taken once more
Searching to find, reopen the door

Wow. Put music to this and it would be a kick a*s song! Excellent word choice.

appreciated

Wow, brilliant. An interesting take on parties, reminds me alot of gatherings before the legal age of drinking....

I think you have captured it. You know, your title used to be one of my mottos. I like the way you transition to the day after, a phase shift.

Thanks Rick. Didn't know about the motto -sorry. Do you want me to change the title? I don't mind at all.

Hey Hey

Nah, the operative term is "used" to be. But thanks for the offer.

Kindness - thanks.
