I Want To Be Found

And then
When I die
I want to be found dancing.
Shaking my booty, so deep in the cut
The beat could not help but follow.

I want to be found
Savoring the juice of my favorite fruit, or
Putting on a new suite
Inhaling the fragrances of a hibiscus
Unafraid, throwing caution to the wind
Willing to risk it.

I want to be found
In a pair of high heels and a short skirt or
Planting sunflower seeds, hands deep in dirt
I want to be running outside in the rain getting wet,
Realizing that first moment of friendship of someone I recently met

I want to be found
Making a difference in someone’s life
Sharing some new insight-excepting my plight

I want to be found in New York City
Hanging out at Washington Park, just walking around
Hoping to see that dog that jumps four feet off the ground
Singing a love song, gospel or jazz
Happy to know love knows no distant or time
Or finding a love that will last, not fast
Passing on a joke that still makes me laugh
So hard it bends me in half

I want to be found
With my friends who have become my family
Or searching the skies through a camera lens

I want to be found
Playing a violin …….For Real

It’s very simple you see
When I die
I want to be
found full of life cause
It’s my life
which will set me free.

The last 3 lines do not have cadence. The word "cause" doesn't fit well. Try a thesuras and find one that fits.

Lisa, You are too kind. I am so glad these words had such a positive effect on you. I will be reading some of your work as well.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
