Dancing Inside the Stillness of My Soul

Dancing Inside the Stillness of My Soul

A Poem by Neva Flores Smith - Changefulstorm
"

There were days I fell into a whirlwind where sunlight glittered then escaped....

"



























There were days
I fell into a whirlwind
where sunlight glittered
then escaped.
I was proud
to count each move made
as a gift.
Sometimes, underneath my eyes
I could see a kiss
deep inside an ocean
of a thousand stars
looking up
at my lips.

Often, I wished
to be still
inside my soul
find a shelter
where I could dance
just one more time,
to verses I wrote
just for you.
Thinking,
perhaps then,
I could fade hypnotically
into your thoughts,
find the sweetest truth.

For endless days now,
I have stared at empty paper
trying to remember
your voice
and capture how much I love you
inside a metaphor.
I found I only fell back
into a whirlwind
where sunlight glittered
then escaped
my heart
only loved you more.

Last night, underneath my eyes
I once again
saw a kiss
deep inside an ocean
of a thousand stars
filled with your face
and my own.
There, I danced
inside the stillness of my soul
within the shelter
of your arms,
found in your eyes,
my home.

This is beautiful work!!! You have become my favorite poet in a short while! It's hard for me to write about my present situation at the moment but eventually I will - but it's like you're reading my mind and write the way I've been feeling!!!! It amazes me!!!
You're an amazing artist!!!

First of all I want that dress in the photo. lol
Beautiful and such a heartfelt piece. Sadness in some...but still beautifully written..The last stanza seemed to have hit home for me. I can relate with this piece in some ways. Your words seem to always flow so freely and gifted.
Thanks for sharing this with me. Enjoyed!!!

Equilibrium...somethin I search for even now... to be balanced if only for a second...and remembering in that still point of light.. what we were...if only you found someone to bring up that memory in the now ...that perhaps could share it with you ...in freedom of sharing a love so great...Laury
