Dance

Dance

 

Dance not upon

Swollen dew soaked

Meadows

But on banks of mill pools

Deep dark and still

 

Where I shall have

My way between these

Shadows

Keen and calling

Deep dark and still

 

Somewhere gasping

Laughing loving mid

Quiet forest

Cool calm and becoming

Deep dark and still

 

Then to dance a dance

Of freedom sighing

Ne’er to come

This way again

Dark deep and still

Amazing use of words my friend. I had to read many times. Gave me some wild vision of dancing in some strange places. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

I feel like this is a calling for the pain to stop Nev. I hope that it's just a wave and you are gaining strength and freedom from it! Happy Wednesday Nev.!

[Neville]

it is his eyes that are letting him down, but he thanks you for the very kind sentiment and empathy....

One day soon we won't need eyes Nev. I know it's an even scarier thought...

[Neville]

only if you are sure..

One day soon, we will just all be blobs of flesh plugged into our own sensory nerves, but what happens when people like us don't have the same kinda electrical impulses that everyone else has? Will they float us away?Maybe it's a good thing....Maybe one day...we will find our way home.

I sure hope so.. I need some light
