Reminds me of an ole song, i'm sure you'll erm, love? lol

Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones
Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones
Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones
Dem Bones are gonna rise!

The foot bone connected to the ankle bone
The ankle bone connected to the leg bone
The leg bone connected to the knee bone
Dem Bones are gonna rise!
Chorus
The knee Bone connected to the thigh bone
The thigh bone connected to the hip bone
The hip bone connected to the back bone
Dem Bones are gonna rise!
Chorus
The back bone connected to the shoulder bone
The shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
The neck bone connected to the head bone
Dem Bones are gonna rise!
Chorus

DRY BONES

Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
Ezekiel cried, "Dem dry bones!"
"Oh, hear the word of the Lord."

The foot bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the head bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!

Dem bones, dem bones gonna walk aroun',
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Dem bones, dem bones, gonna walk aroun'
Oh, hear the word of the Lord.

The head bone connected to the neck bone,
The neck bone connected to the back bone,
The back bone connected to the thigh bone,
The thigh bone connected to the knee bone,
The knee bone connected to the leg bone,
The leg bone connected to the foot bone,
Oh, hear the word of the Lord!

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

‘To thine own self be true ’
The day will take on a brighter hue

Don’t look to someone else to change
For its you that must be re-arranged
A waste of energy is passing blame
You’ve created what you became

These verses are a source of wisdom as is the whole poem; thank you, Lin. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Love the rhythm and rhyme. Remember joy and the bones will dance--love it.

Good job,

Lin,

There is life in these skeletal lines that refuse to go down easy. Much wisdom, too: well done. Enjoyed reading 'Dancing Bones.'

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Remember joy and the bones will dance

... and watch all those skeletons fly from our cupboards when we do so! Such sound and sage exhortations here, Linda. And tightly woven in impeccable rhyme and form. So good to read you again. xx

Visited by a Poltergeist, this poem sends a strong message of searching and orienting, yes, the now is the moment, all other things are the ghost of the past, no need to dance with them, you have found a new dancing partner, a better one.
Blessings! Jasmin Horst

Excellent write!!! On the road to self-discovery, I have found the place you describe.

Only in now is found rest. A wonderful and wise pen.
