WALT’S TRIQUINT:
IN THE CATHEDRAL OF NIGHT
In the shadows on a cold crisp night
she stands, Engulfed in moonlight,
she thought that she might
be alright.
Fine!
Beneath the cover of bright starlight,
she surely was not uptight.
She thought that she might
be alright.
Shine!
It truly was a beautiful sight,
my midnight bride dressed in white.
She thought that she might
be alright
mine!

MICHELLE’S TRIQUINT:
SOUL STEPPING
Having a song singing in your soul,
will have you taking a stroll.
Queen of your own knoll,
you are whole!
Sing!
You will dance around the colored pole,
feet pounding, down to the sole.
Queen of your own knoll,
you are whole!
Swing!
You have checked your list and set your goal,
you are moving, on a roll.
Queen of your own knoll,
you are whole!
Ring!
