Dance of Life
Smooth
like a wave she begins...
With breathless highs and lows.
In a twirling eddy she spins;
With the grace of a river she flows.
She
careens like a feather
Cradled by the flowing breeze.
She dances untethered;
With winds nestled in her knees.
Scores
of sparks together spawn
A burst of flare with a blinding glare.
Her flaming body dances on...
The enthralling sight, the seers stare.
Time
itself ceases to be,
As she gyrates like the earth.
Celestial bodies stop by to see
Her fiery and unbridled mirth.
Dance
itself her only goal;
She builds her own reality.
Glow of her heart illumes her soul.
She dances for the Gods to see.
Vexing
worries no longer hound;
She dances all her ails away.
Like her dance her joy unbound,
As the music makes her sway.
Crashing
from heavens above;
Jolted back to the cruel world.
Torn apart from her only love;
The music no longer to be heard.
Stolen
of her movements deft,
As the music ceased to flow.
The dainty maiden felt bereft
When the present had to go.
The
world was blinded to her strife,
As on the past she cast a glance.
She wished to dance a dance of life.
And while alive to live to dance
