Throughout my days of learning, 
it seems the prompt 
always guided us 
to avoid using conjecture. 
Now I wonder how and why
we would be asked
to not dance with trance, 
to avoid the void, 
to cover our skin 
from listening
to the melody-
sensing, intuiting, 
playing in all the ways 
we can become attuned
as our attention drifts at sea
and we learn to be...
won't you stay here 
with me
in the space 
between giving and receiving 
this moving, breathing
​melody
