The dance

Some see a fight between light and night

I see a dance

The more bright the sight, the darker the shadow of plight

The pendulum does advance

The melody's not wrong, all belong, it's the timing of your song

Listen to its beat then prance

In the throng, be strong, as you go along

Be in balance not askance

If skeptical, inflexible or too conventional

Your feet won't stand a chance

Let your response be intestinal, not just intellectual

Multidimensional is the dance

Really liked the strong interior rhyming in this one. Also the theme of cooperation rather than opposition was on the mark. Light and dark don't need to clash, for they are but two sides of a single coin.

Thank you so much John for the review and on the mark comments. So right light and dark are the duality of each other.

we all have our positive and negative moods and character; the point i believe is to be flexible in your ways, not rigid, not condescending, but have a broad picture of life... we must try to to be multi faceted, so that we can all dance together....
great poem of importance

I liked this because of its message and the truth behind it. Night is nothing without the day and the day, well, without the night who needs it. As for the dance...I am a firm believer that everything has a pattern and a rhythm, and all things dance, that is how we blend and become. Really nice my friend.

Thank you Will for the read and insightful words. Yes it is not only a cycle, duality but a matter of timing.

...Hi Soren. Yes, balance in all things. An inspired, Creative Idea--day and night , dancing, light, shadows--beautifully written, beautifully "balanced." :)
