somewhere, out dare

dear friend somewhere out there
i see you smiling
i wanted to yell Hiya! from my window
but i didn't want to disturb
your absorption of book in hand

the morning breeze is now caressing yor long tresses
a flurry of windtossed young lallang
dancing in abandon

i know you are in a world of your own
by the port dickson beach
inheriting some of your soft footprints
sweet impressions in the sand
thy heels now warmed by the sea water
while you seem to pull tight the pale-blued shawl
and rainbow-coloured blanket
tight to thy body
i long to hug that creation
now i tenderly behold

soon, somewhere, i will out dare
all the restraining forces
to wake my own body, more than a bit cold
in an early sunday morn

the far horizon just
gleaming the warm glow of a rising sun
resembling a setting moon,shades of pale reds, oranges and yellow
tickled by rushes o blue

but it's not yet time
sweets in the morning glory have to wait
for i await the momemnt to seize
to out dare
my encumbrances
body tied to my iron-gripping chair

one day
kind doctor will make me rise again
then i will out dare
my handicaps
inding me to this unfeeing chair

now i enjoy secretly the taste of thy smile
thy serene absorption of words
thy oneness with mum nature's embrace
the wind, the sky
the song of the sea
out there by the beach
windswept tresses carving out
ala dance movements to a new symphony
only a artistes attempting a masterpiece
can dream of
i am one trying to
out dare

dancing in the air
as my heart dances
i will soon out dare

NOTE tomyself~~~~~~~9.11AM, July 12, Year of Joy and Tears
writ as I byte on a sundae
four toppings of skippy
on kaya well buttered too
two embracing french toast slices
with no cap in hapiness
this is the dance of life
in the safety ofmy room wit' a view
by the PD beach
you out there
me, waiting
to out dare

Somewhere Out There lyrics

Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale moon night,
Someone's thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.
Somewhere out there,
Someone's saying a prayer,
That we'll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,
And when the night wind starts to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.
Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then, we'll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.
And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,
And when the night wind starts to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.
Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through, (can see us through)
Then, we'll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.
