Life Means Never Giving up on the Dance!

As in the desert,
A sand blows,
It's eastward wings carrying it's wonderous jewels
A lady, dancing no less, her face that of a thousand queens,

Drawing all those about into her deep cavern of mystery,
Her fiery presence both a blessing and a curse,
For there before you now stands the dancer of life.

No lines shall be cut, No rules shall be decided
A wind shall shape the gentle curves,
And water shall give it's shine
As the fire within glows brightly, herself a lady of time

Swords flash in the setting sun,
And veils twirl around her,
A commotion caused over her openess, her trueness

A woman, a woman, not to be free
Not to be opened, not to be seen
No, No, this is not how to be!
She shall not hidden, nor given as a bride
But open her soul, and hold out her pride

There is a dance, a dance to be free
I speak of this dance,
Because between you and me,
It's the dance of the ancients, and the dance of the new
Of the old and the young,
It's the dance of many a tongue,
For this is my dance, my chance to be free
And open and happy, and truely be me
-Jessica Millsaps

  1. Try these, if you really want to feel an irresistible urge to get up and dance. What you have here sounds mournful and self-pitying. Ultimately the effect is enervating -- the direct opposite of Strauss and Beethoven’s energizing Gift to the weary world.

  3. melancholia.

    Remember. In our Post-Modern consumerist society, "Joy" is not a "subversive" and therefore "liberating" act.
