The Cape of Good Hope
Body Language
by Avendor
by Michone Nettles, AKA "Black Diamond"
The man on the motorcycle
rides through the night,
he’s a summertime prince
in humankind’s light.
While looking into the eyes that reflect oneness with all
See yourself on the front lines of life and death!
Each of us so different, and a lot alike at the same time.
We came from another planet.
Space travel has always been here and there.
The silent vibrations can’t or could substitute words unspoken
Eye contact tells the whole story without a word said.
Bodies have a whole language of their own.
If you can read it you could understand it.
Body talk,
When I move, body talk
When I sit, body talk.
Sleep, body talk
Can you hear body talk?
Can I hear body walk?
Body walk, talk while you walk.
Walk while you talk. It’s a beautiful life.
Only get so far down when we come up.
Like the elevator.
What floor are you going to?
The girl at the register
greets you with a smile,
she loves you and she’ll
be an angel in a while.
The tiger lies down
beside a waterfall,
he will get photographed
and become a cause for us all.

And the insane who against
their fate were rebellin’,
will return and be greeted
with a hero’s welcome.
